[Bug 504940] [NEW] Installing Jove also installs sendmail

[MKrause]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: jove

There may be two problems here.

1. Sendmail is listed as a recommended package for jove, which seems
odd: Why would a (lightweight!) editor benefit from having an MTA
installed?

2. Although it's listed as a recommendation and not a hard dependency,
sendmail and friends (sendmail-cf, sendmail-base) get installed
automatically.

This occurs in 9.10, 9.04, and some earlier releases. It occurs with the
current jove package (4.16.0.70-3.1) and may also have occurred with
previous versions.

Suggested outcome:
1) Jove neither installs nor recommends sendmail or
2) Jove recommends, but does not automatically install sendmail.

** Affects: jove (Ubuntu)
