The question, as I see it, is "does the desktop need full LSB compliance"?
And I think the answer, at this stage, if lsb requires us to provide
/usr/sbin/sendmail, is "no".

Users who need an LSB environment can install the package, which should
ideally bring them into compliance (though we don't know whether this is
true for Hoary).
