Apologies, I checked the metadata and assumed that I missed these as |
| 6 |
part of your patch series. In any case, I'm not trying to throw blame |
| 7 |
around -- this is all new and we're still figuring it out (which is why |
| 8 |
I miss seeing the patches). |

If it is needed, it should be pulled in directly by the package that |
| 22 |
needs it. I have a feeling that mailbase exists to avoid copy/pasting |
| 23 |
some code between postfix, exim, and however-many versions of qmail we |
| 24 |
once had. For the user creation at least, GLEP81 eliminates the |
| 25 |
copy/pasting. |

The only reason I didn't suggest this is because my TODO list is already |
| 32 |
too long. I'm sure there's a good historical reason for mailbase to |
| 33 |
exist, but I can't figure out what it does today. |
