Title:
  nullmailer should not directly conflict with lsb

Status in “nullmailer” package in Ubuntu:
  New

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).
