As an aside, I was never a fan of this change, as it seems to lead to
exactly this.

One of those is that you'd want to use Postfix, "Recommends: sendmail |
postfix" (or even Depends, from my last email) should address that one.

What's the other use?

Is it to run watch-mimedefang? If that's the case, maybe that should
just be split out into a separate package. I see there's already an open
bug suggesting that.
