Package: opensmtpd
Version: 6.0.3p1-4
Severity: important

(Actually found from my 6.4.1p2-0.2 build, where it remains unfixed.)

Dear Maintainer,

The install path of sendmail(1) wrapper binary follows OpenBSD's
conventions, not Debian's I believe?

I've had to use this configuration in my $HOME/.mblaze/profile for a
long while, because sendmail doesn't appear in my $PATH as a regular
user using a local OpenSMTPD MTA as a relay to an external MSA:

```
# There's a "bug" with the OpenSMTPD package on Debian GNU/Linux. OpenSMTPD
# installs a sendmail wrapper to /usr/sbin, but this is not in the
# non-administrative users' $PATH on Debian due to Debian policy (following
# Filesystem Hierarchy Standard 2.3 strictly).
#
# The package maintainer maintainer for OpenSMTPD on Debian should change the
# install location of sendmail wrapper to /usr/bin. This is TBD, as of
# 2019-01-07. I've not reported the bug, yet.
Sendmail: /usr/sbin/sendmail
```

I believe the sendmail(8) binary should be installed to /usr/bin instead.

Thanks.
