Bug Description
RFC 3834 recommends the use of appropriate Precedence and Auto-submitted headers for programs that automatically respond to email. While the debian/ubuntu version of vacation looks for both these headers (at least as of 3.3.1), it generates neither of them, leading to unnecessary processing for other mail systems as well as spurious responses to the vacation auto message.

This bug effects all supported versions of Ubuntu (including Jammy Jellyfish).
The provided patch was made against vacation-3.3.3
If it would be more appropriate to report this bug to debian, please let me know.
