darcs shouldn't need an MTA just to send mail

Bug Description

Binary package hint: darcs

Shall I send this patch? (1/1) [ynWvpxqadjk], or ? for help: y
What is the target email address? <redacted>
Error in execvp: No such file or directory

I guess darcs uses some mail-sending program to send mail, but the package doesn't depend on it. The package _does_ recommend the virtual package mail-transfer-agent, but surely an MTA is overkill for just sending mail.

I suggest that you file this as a "wishlist" item upstream at http://bugs.darcs.net/ after searching to see that it hasn't already been filed there. I'll be surprised if the Ubuntu project wants to do anything about this directly.

Upstream marked "won't fix". They decided it was too much work for too little result.
