"Using the cron-daemon virtual package is clearly where we want to end up",
wrote Russ Allbery in Message-id <87r3y5dwm3.fsf at hope.eyrie.org>.

So that would be a "Depends: cron-daemon|cron" for mailman afaik.

See https://lists.debian.org/<30446027.mNS7mfypdK@antec> for some background
information.  It would be nice to be able to ship a "fixed" mailman in stretch.
No hurry for now though, I'd guess.

Bye,
