Bug Description

Binary package hint: vacation

Upon installing the vacation program (Ubuntu 7.04 universe) I had to figure out that smrsh was refusing to use vacation and why, where to make the link, and then make it myself. Normally I wouldn't mind, but given that the philosophy in Debian/Ubuntu seems to be "you wouldn't install it if you didn't want to use it", and also given that procmail made links in there, I figured this was a bug, albeit a relatively minor one. At the very least, the package could inform you of this necessity at install-time.
