Comment 4 for bug 465833

I partially agree.

If you want the whole story, here it is:
- Quickly ubuntu-project template used devscripts at the beginning (with debuild/debuild -S).
- Seeing that we were pooling postfix (and the associated debconf questions), rick and I decided to use dpkg-buildpackage instead. That's what is done.
- But Quickly is calling python-mkdebian from distutils-extra package which uses debchange, part of devscripts but don't depend on it. It's only suggested.
After talking to pitti, as python-mkdebian is just a minor command in distutils-extra, he keeps it as suggested, not depend.

So, here is the trick, we can put it again as a recommends, but that will move us back to our first issue...

Care to open a bug on devscripts to ask removing postfix requirement?
