Why are you complaining? If your package needs an MTA - put in a Requires!
If we follow the general state of things: "if a package might need something, toss it in as a requires!", this will totally defeat the purpose of the comps change, since it will get pulled in by something important at some point. Rsyslog, for example, can send output via e-mail.

I really feel like Cato the Elder when I would like to point out that this is yet another example of our brain-damaged reliance on comps instead of having proper Suggests/Recommends.
