For that debian packages has alternatives system.. your packages dont

either have it, your packages just take over the control that is not
the desired one

debian packages permit coexist and also integrates with the rest of ..

i can just upgrade sendmail and willnot harm if something was

the courier build was dropped Angel, and the current one in Debian its OUTDATED

in this way Sam has right and debian seems dont want to do something here..
