An update - with some info from Ben Reser on the update-alternatives
script, I found that the sendmail package was actually correct. Since the
alternatives system now accounts for mta's, each mta's binary is named
with a .<mta> extension (for example, postfix's binary would be
sendmail.postfix).  This system requires an update to be run whenever a
new package is installed for a certain 'alternative'.  Part of this update
was handled properly by sendmail's RPM install script, but part was
omitted.

For more information check here:

I ran 'update-alternatives --auto mta' and this made the correct symlinks
from the /etc/alternatives/mta* files to the binaries the system is
expecting.

However, I'm still having problems with the sendmail-8.12.1-6mdk package.
When I start up sendmail using /etc/rc.d/init.d/sendmail, it seems to
hang. If I hit "ctrl-c", it finishes starting, and sendmail seems to be
running and it works normally. Thoughts?
