Package: sendmail-bin
Version: 8.15.2-8
Severity: normal

sendmail-bin currently ships these symlinks:

$ dpkg -c sendmail-bin_8.15.2-8_amd64.deb | grep 'usr/share/man'
[…]
/usr/share/man/man8/hoststat.8.gz -> sendmail-mta.8.gz
/usr/share/man/man8/purgestat.8.gz -> sendmail-mta.8.gz

…but the target file sendmail-mta.8.gz does not exist in Debian:

$ apt-file search sendmail-mta.8.gz                             
$

it does exist - it is a slave alternative:

$ ls -la /usr/share/man/man8/sendmail-mta.8.gz
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 35 Jan  9 22:31 /usr/share/man/man8/sendmail-mta.8.gz -> /etc/alternatives/sendmail-mta.8.gz
