Bug Description

Binary package hint: logwatch

The last maintenance release for exim was in 2002 and it is in universe.

Also the exim4 package is in main and exim is in universe.

Probably true, although this issue is best dealt with in Debian. It should probably be exim4 | mta in Debian if logwatch works with other mail servers.

It already does depend on exim4 in Debian unstable, that means it will probably get into gutsy.

I want it to depend on exim4 in dapper, which is the long term support release.

Yes, that's the version in the Gutsy repositories now.

After reviewing the policy for updates to stable releases, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/SRU, I don't think this issue applies. The impact is (AFAICT) limited to having to install an extra package that you won't use. If that's not correct, please reopen the Dapper task and explain which SRU catagory this bug fits into.
