Relies on mail command without package dependency

[evilhamsterman]

The various scripts use the mail -s command to send mail in the event of failure. For example

if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
    ( echo "Archive pool sync failed. Please check logs."; \
        egrep '^write failed|@ERROR' $LOGFILE ) | mail -s "Ubuntu archive sync failed" $EMAIL
    echo "$(date -R): Archive pool sync failed."
    exit 1
fi

However the package only depends on the existence of an MTA which generally only come with the sendmail command, the mail command comes from the mailutils package.

The ubumirror package should either depend on the mailutils package or switch to using sendmail instead of mail.

FWIW the bsg-mailx package also supplies a compatible mail command and pulls in far fewer dependencies.
