Hi !

Looks like three packages are providing a slightly different flavour of
qmail:

qmail
qmail-ldap
qmail-mysql

Some other packages depend on qmail:

qmailadmin
qmail-autoresponder
qmail-lint
qmail-notify
qmail-qfilter
qmail-qsanity
qmail-vmailmgr

Those depend on net-mta/qmail so they cannot be installed on top of
qmail-ldap or qmail-mysql.

This thing comes up because of #78681 where a user wants to install
qmail-notify on top of qmail-mysql or qmail-ldap. The workaround he
sends is to tweak the RDEPEND:

-       mail-mta/qmail"
+       || (
                mail-mta/qmail
                mail-mta/qmail-mysql
                mail-mta/qmail-ldap
        )"

But maybe creating virtual/qmail and making them depend on virtual/qmail
is cleaner.

Any ideas?

Cheers,
Ferdy
