[As per recent comments, unmarking patch as a solution since the patch
is a workaround and not an appropriate fix.  Also, ubsubbing sponsors
since it sounds like further discussion is required with upstream to
find a suitable long term fix, and the severity of the issue is not such
that we require a short-term fix for ubuntu.  Please re-subscribe
sponsors once a consensus is reached with upstream, or provide
clarifying rationale if diverging from upstream is needed.]

Title:
  nullmailer should not directly conflict with lsb

Status in “nullmailer” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in “nullmailer” package in Debian:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: nullmailer

  Yes, we know that the full LSB spec specifies that "-bs" be provided
  by the sendmail frontend. However, this interface is not supplied by
  ssmtp, nor is it supplied by the default lsb-invalid-mta (of course).
  I don't see why [only] nullmailer should have an explicit exclude
  entry against the simple "lsb" metapackage, contrary to what the
  Debian maintainers thought in 2004.

  If this is really the desired conflict behavior, though, there's still
  a change required (the inverse: add the conflict to ssmtp).
