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.

Having a very simple mail-queue-and-relay program as an alternative to
sendmail seems like a better choice than just ditching it.
