Please sync sendmail 8.14.4-2 (main) from Debian unstable (main)

Explanation of the Ubuntu delta and why it can be dropped:

The unique diff with Debian package is the use of DEB_BUILD_HARDENING=1
in debian/rules

The original maintainer sais that this isnt necessary because the
package is already hardened with debian/rules options. You can
see at BTS bug:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=542739

I think the best option is to sync this package.

Thanks!
