Please sync mailutils 1:2.1+dfsg1-6 (universe) from Debian unstable (main).

Explanation of the Ubuntu delta and why it can be dropped:

We can sync the package as debian has incorporated ubuntu's patch

Changelog since current maverick version 1:2.1+dfsg1-4ubuntu1:

mailutils (1:2.1+dfsg1-6) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Follow Steve Langasek's suggestion in #555495 and make default-mta the
    preferred mail-transport-agent alternative, instead of exim4.
  * Add mailbox_lexer_parse_regular_files.diff, stolen from Git, to make
    mail work when ~/.mail exists as a directory (thanks Daniel Kahn Gillmor;
    closes: #543544).
  * Install mail as mail.mailutils and register alternatives for
    /usr/bin/mail, so the binary can co-exist with the already present
    alternative provided by bsd-mailx and heirloom-mailx (closes: #577738).
  * Include the c_api.so in python-mailutils, otherwise it's completely
    useless. Thanks Wojciech Polak for spotting this. NB: this change
    temporarily makes python-mailutils support python 2.5 only. This
    should be fixed for the next upload.
  * Make the Vcs-Svn and Vcs-Browser control fields point to trunk.

mailutils (1:2.1+dfsg1-5) unstable; urgency=low

  * Add a missing comma in mailutils' description (closes: #562589).
  * Conflict with bsdmainutils (<< 8.0.6) to ensure from is correctly
    registered with update-alternatives (see #565530 and #565596).
  * Special case "mail" and "comsatd" during manpage generation as their
    slightly different usage output breaks automatic detection of whatis
    info.
  * Remove old postinst code for rare sarge upgrade conditions.
  * Remove mailutils.preinst, which only holds code from 2002 to remove
    leftover elm+ diversions.
  * Generate a manpage for sieve.scm. The following changes are needed:
    - Set $GUILE_LOAD_PATH to the package's installdir
    - Temporarily modify the hardcoded mailutils libs path in mailutils.scm
      so sieve.scm can open them.
    - Introduce sieve.scm_help_output.diff to modify sieve.scm's --help
      output in order to make help2man happy.
  * Add a note to all manpages explaining their origin, and that bugs
    concerning their contents should not be sent upstream.
  * Fix the python install path to include "*-packages" so it works with
    python2.6 (closes: #571497).
  * Comment out the AM_GNU_RADIUS check from configure.ac, as the m4 is
    not available in the tarball nor in any current Debian package. Thanks
    to Kamal Mostafa, for the patch applied in Ubuntu (closes: #568484).
  * Switch to DpkgSource version 3.0 (quilt). Remove include for CDBS' quilt
    rules, README.source and quilt Build-Dependency.
  * Refresh patches.
  * Add a Lintian override for Mailutils MH binary directory. We want to be
    co-installable with MH-E, so for now we use another directory.
  * Bump Standards-Version to 3.8.4, no changes needed.

mailutils 2.1+dfsg1-6 builds on maverick amd64. Maybe the FTBFS was caused by other packages.

This bug was fixed in the package mailutils - 1:2.1+dfsg1-6
