Since I've been asked, here's some more about that from /usr/share/doc/grep-dctrl/Compatibility : 8-- If you use grep-dctrl in a Debian package, you should depend on the grep-dctrl package and heed the following compatibility notes: * Always call only the grep-dctrl executable. Although the grep-status and grep-available symlinks are installed by default, this may change in the future. Those symlinks are meant for manual - not scripted - use. * Always specify an explicit file name Don't rely on the implicit file name feature. The system administrator may have changed the default file name. * Not all features have been with us in every version Check if any of the features you use is mentioned in the changelog. Use a versioned dependency on grep-dctrl, if it is necessary. 8-- The same information used to be included in the manual page, but it seems to have been dropped. I just uploaded 2.1.10 which reinserts the warning. -- Antti-Juhani Kaijanaho, Debian developer http://kaijanaho.info/antti-juhani/blog/en/debian signature.asc Description: Digital signature
Detecting the installed MTA
Hello, During packaging, that is, during the installation of a package, I need to determine which MTA is currently installed, since I need to set certain permissions specific to my package, so that they match with those of the currently running MTA. Looking through /etc/passwd for signs of MTA specific users seems a less than optimal way of doing things, and google hasn't produced any obvious ideas, so I would love some input.

Might be hackish, but seems to work:
dpkg -S /usr/sbin/sendmail | awk -F ':' '{print $1}'
