Well, as a f'rinstance, with RedHat you could install sendmail-devel,
but not sendmail, and build MIMEDefang just fine.  Debian should be
similar.

As for building from tarballs...   my guess would be that there is some
option to only compile the milter interface libraries (or at least make
them appropriately available for building other software) rather than
having to build all of sendmail itself.
