Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: sendmail

I realise that the issue has been described in other bugs (see:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sendmail/+bug/43752/comments/6
)
but the other bugs are tracking other issues.

Because the init files are not removed when the package is removed, the
system hangs for 5 or so seconds every boot as it tries to start the
sendmail MTA. I have tried this on two different Gutsy machines.

Any questions, please ask.
