No, because sendmail is the default -- although perhaps it _shouldn't_
be.

The default MTA should be included in Core, and the others should be in
Extras unless they provide functionality which isn't available from the
default MTA.

Actually, the default probably ought to be Exim -- Debian and Ubuntu
have got this right. And even if Exim isn't the default, it should be in
Core -- it provides a lot of functionality that neither postfix nor
sendmail can manage. But that's a separate question -- let's start by at
least being consistent.
