> What do you suggest instead?

I don't really have a suggestion and I am not disputing that this change
was necessary.

But the USN description doesn't even mention that specifying sendmail
options after "--" is no longer supported. After some back and forth
(and seriously doubting my own sanity) I inferred that fact from the
changelog which mentions a "83-nosendmail.patch". I just wish the USN
advertised and documented this change and its full impact better.
