Replacing mail.local with deliver seems to be an independent decision
from installing smail.  The goal (at least my goal) was to install
smail for its routing intelligence.  Although installing /usr/bin/deliver
looks like a very flexible thing to do, I don't think it's related to
this goal (unless mail.local does something wrong that I'm not aware of).
