Bug Description

Binary package hint: bugzilla

Bugzilla may use smtp instead of sendmail, postfix, etc. Therefore it does not necessarily depend on sendmail. I dont want sendmail installed/configured on my machine, but cannot remove it while keeping bugzilla installed.

I vote for this to be fixed. After installing the Ubuntu package, on reboot, the system hangs around for the sendmail MTA to start. Removing sendmail removes Bugzilla as well. This is still here in Ubuntu 8.04. Pain...

Thanks for everything else though ;)
