Subject: gnupg: ftbfs [sparc] build installs random mail-transport-agent which failed

Package: gnupg
Version: 1.4.2-2
Severity: serious
Justification: no longer builds from source

gnupg has mail-transport-agent as a build dependancy without specifying
a desired one first as an alternative. The sparc buildd randomly chose
zmailer which failed to install so the build failed.

I can't think of a good reason to require mail-transport-agent as a
build dependancy. Building should not depend on being able to send
mail.

Setting up libldap2-dev (2.1.30-12) ...
Setting up zmailer (2.99.56-2) ...
The file /etc/mailname should contain the domain- or hostname
visible on all outgoing mail and news messages. Currently,
that file isn't present. Please enter the mail name of your
system: dpkg: error processing zmailer (--configure):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
apt-get failed.
