No. The big question for me is: Why do you force that MIME-tools 
installation? I have always avoided your "special" package and haven't seen 
problems with the MIME-tools that were coming with the system.

I find this rather scary. Why would you want to force us to always use the 
latest libraries? There are good reasons why people may not want to upgrade 
the existing perl modules they have on the system, with the exception of 
official security fixes. MailScanner, even new versions, has been working 
reliably on older systems in the past. This would change it.
