What are the sizes and times on your binary?  Here are mine:

|root@birnam| dpkg -l sendmail
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge
| Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed

ii  sendmail        8.7.5-4        A complex mail transport agent.

|root@birnam| file /usr/sbin/sendmail
/usr/sbin/sendmail: setuid Linux/i386 demand-paged executable (QMAGIC), stripped

|root@birnam| ls -l /usr/sbin/sendmail
-rwsr-xr-x   1 root     root       229376 May 22 16:14 /usr/sbin/sendmail*

These times and sizes match the ones in the .deb file (do 'dpkg -c
sendmail-8.7.5-4.deb').

Strange.
