Hello,
Indeed it is, policy 11.6. (Yes, I know you already agreed to this, I
just like to document the reference. ;-)

I doubt whether there is a working solution for this, as your aims
are:
#1 if /usr/sbin/sendmail does not exist build as if
${sendmail version in sid} was installed
#2 if /usr/sbin/sendmail exists but is not sendmail (exim, qmail,
esmtp, ...) build as if ${sendmail version in sid} was installed
#3 if /usr/sbin/sendmail exists and is a real sendmail retrieve version
information from binary and hardcode _these_ values.
On top of that do not forget to add the corresponding dependency
information.
I guess that just detecting whether /usr/sbin/sendmail is a real sendmail
is a quite hard problem without elegant solution. Which is why I'd
suggest to drop requirement #3.
