I tried commenting out that line, and then did a lint, and it gave me no
errors at all - not regarding LWP either. Tell me, should I expect to see an
error regarding LWP if, I in fact, didn't have that package?

MDaemon does indeed provide a port of sa-update. However it's theoretically
possible that Mouk may not have included a particular package (eg. LWP)
within the spamd executable even though it is included in the sa-update
executable. I have noticed in the past some small discrepancies in the
packages which Mouk includes, or doesn't include, between those two
executables. So I may need to ask him directly about that.

Nevertheless, I'm interested in knowing if I should expect to see some kind
of error, when I do a lint, if I don't have LWP yet a plugin is requiring
it.
