OK. As mail-transport-agent isn't (supposed to be) provided as a facility by any boot script, I guess someone need to get all those providing the virtual mta package to agree to provide a virtual boot facility too. Conflicting provides it not an option at the moment, so boot scripts depending on mail-transport-agent will fail to install when dependency based boot sequencing is enabled. A virtual facility is like the $local_fs and $remote_fs facilities, which map to many scripts. Of course, if the local admin want to specify a boot dependency on a specific MTA, she can do so by adding a file in /etc/insserv/overrides/.
