Binary package hint: mdadm
Anybody who cares about redundancy to use mdadm probably cares enogh abbout redundacy to want being notified if redundancy is degraded.
Debian systems do have at least local mail enabled and package mdadm asks for a mail address to notify during mdadm install.
By default ubuntu system support no local mail and mdadm package was patched to suppress the debconf email question, without setting up mdadm --monitor to use wall or notify-send as an alternative.
As notifying a human is a serious data protection topic mdadm should depend on a package providing at least local mail services or use wall/notify-send to get the message out.
