I'm closing this forgotten issue.  It seems the original problem
reported had to do with the system and user profiles not being merged as
would be expected, which is already known as #20255.

When installing "git:send-email", the dependency "git" is not
installed.  Installing this also masks a local installation of git
masked when running in a foreign distro.  The particular failure
observed is that repos transferred over https no longer worked with
the error `fatal: unable to find remote helper for 'https'`.
