AFAIK, I lot of programs (even `popular' ones like `cron') use
/usr/lib/sendmail.
I think we should discuss this first, before doing any changes: Do we
really want to get rid of the /usr/lib/sendmail link?
(I'm not saying that the link makes much since to be in /usr/lib. However,
I'm objecting to the procedure of introducing such changes without a
discussion.)
(Does this thread belong to debian-policy?)
Comments are welcome!
Thanks,
