Candidate revision mutt_1.5.20-2ubuntu1

This change could also be forwarded to Debian so that mutt can be synced once that's done.

This bug was fixed in the package mutt - 1.5.20-2ubuntu1

---------------
mutt (1.5.20-2ubuntu1) karmic; urgency=low

  * Merge from debian unstable (LP: #392997), remaining changes:
    debian/control: Recommend default-mta instead of exim4.

mutt (1.5.20-2) unstable; urgency=low

      command (Closes: 533459)

---end quoted text---
It was forwarded to Debian (please look at the Debian bug linked to this
LP bug). Yet Debian maintainer tagged it as wontfix. I talked to him on
IRC yesterday and he seemed that he will consider the idea. That's
exactly what he said:

13:34 <Myon> mutt won't change the dependency unless there's a consensus
that all packages should change
13:35 <AnAnt> oh, I thought that Debian did already decide it for
default-mta according to http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=508644
13:41 <Myon> http://wiki.debian.org/DefaultMTA doesn't know anything
about default-mta
13:42 <Myon> I agree that that's probably a good idea, I didn't really
hear about it before

He also said that he is very busy (probably that's why he didn't remove
the wontfix tag yet).
