Why does /var/spool/mail belong to filesystem?  Sendmail uses it, make
it a part of the sendmail package.

That certainly explains why I end up with empty directories after
uninstalling various packages... their directory belongs to another,
completely unrelated package!  (/etc/midi, /etc/uucp, etc, etc seem to
suffer from this problem as well -- at least in 6.0)
