Others have explained why apticron wants to install a mail server.

If you do not want to use a packaged mail server then you would
probably be best off in the long run looking into making a Debian
package of your own MTA, so that you can tell your system that it
does in fact have an MTA.

That way, other packages which also have this kind of dependency
will be satisfied.

Cheers,
Andy
