Sorry for the delay in replying, I was in a short vacation. 

With respect to comment #24 and #25: I think that all packages which require
smtpdaemon, MTA and usr/sbin/sendmail should be hunt down, tested, the real
resource that they need should be identified and the package fixed according to
the proposal in comment #25. However I think that the provides which are
supported by the application (such as mailq for ssmtp - despite the fact that it
does nothing) should be kept.
For what is worth:
- syslog (and syslog-ng) and mdadm work very happy directly with the
/usr/sbin/sendmail file. I use them for almost an year on lots of live servers
with ssmtp relaying the messages to the core logging server. So I bet that if
msmtp would install a correctly configured alternative for /usr/sbin/sendmail
these packages would not break.
- squirrelmail can be configured to use either the sendmail binary directly or a
 SMTP server running on port 25. OTOH I am almost sure that no one installing a
webmail server would want to use esmtp/msmtp/ssmtp as backend.
