Warning: Hold upgrading sendmail in testing

[Carlos Sousa <csousa@tvtel.pt>]

The sendmail package (version 8.12.6-7) that has recently entered
testing (yesterday) will install but will not work, due to a
dependency on the libc6 in unstable.

It will install because the correct dependency on libc6 is not
declared (bug #165421), but will leave the system without a
functional MTA.

I confess I didn't expect a package with a "grave" bug to be able
to get into testing. How did it avoid the package checks that
enable packages to make the transition?
