+# REMARKS:
+# Conf file is in a --sysconfdir=/etc/$pkgname/Muttrc and then alternatives to
+# /etc/Muttrc. In addition, a dependency on mime-types is broken by having
+# /etc/dir/ because mutt probably expects the mime information in the same
+# dir as sysconfdir. Thus a symlink is created to deal with this.
+# /etc/Muttrc is not currently in alternatives to prevent inadvertently
+# overwriting configuration.
