Dear Maintainer,

I recently updated emacs and consort to 27.1.  On first `M-x rm' emacs (in an
Xsession) complained about having no mailmove available.  I googled mailmove
to find it a part of (gnu) mailutils, which as a debian package provides
mailmove (/usr/bin/).  Aptitude doesn't seem be aware of or just doesn't care
about this dependency.

Brgds e.

PS I suppose there aren't many people still using emacs as their MRT.

The emacs-bin-common package does recommend mailutils.
That seems an appropriate level of dependency, given that many won't use Emacs for mail at all.
