Package: bash
Version: 3.1dfsg-8
Severity: normal
My MTA is exim 3.36-18.2. bashbug looks for /usr/lib/sendmail or
/usr/sbin/sendmail and then falls back to "rmail". This won't work
since the rmail symlink is in /usr/sbin/rmail which is not in the PATH
of a normal user. Is there some /etc/alternatives style symlink that
would always be present and allow programs to send email regardless of
the MTA?

Sure, done. In the future you can close the bugs yourself by mailing
[EMAIL PROTECTED]; see the rest of the BTS documentation for the other
manipulations.
