I don't know exactly what you mean with mail daemon, but I don't think
that there is such a requirement. As I said in another mail, for
example, esmtp can both deliver locally through a mda or to another
localtion, and it is not obvious that everybody needs local delivery.
Now the right package could be installed depending on the user choice,
but I don't think we should try to be too smart.
