Can we stop sending messages to multiple lists? Choosing one and cc'ing
or bcc'ing the other so people know where discussion's taking place, sure,

This is exceedingly awkward. In short, just say no.
What having a binary in a different component to a source means is
that dinstall loses all ties between the source and the binary, so the
ftpmasters would have to do any manipulation of the package by hand.
I say "would have to", because AIUI, they get around this problem by not
allowing source packages to have mixed binaries like that.
Instead, either make two source packages: sendmail and sendmail-tls,
each building only one binary; or make one source package that builds
both binaries and uploads them both to non-us. Or, just build one binary,
sendmail, with the TLS support and upload it to non-us.
