I use exim and courier, and installing sendmail seems to want to remove them. Does this mean I can no longer use logwatch?

No, you need an mta that provides /usr/sbin/sendmail, in debian terms a package that provides mail-transport-agent. My sentence was probably the worst form to express that. But apt will take care for that anyway.

$ apt-cache show logwatch | grep  -E "^(Depends|Version)"
Version: 7.2.1-0test2
Depends: perl, exim | mail-transport-agent
Version: 7.2.1-0test1
Depends: perl, mailx
Version: 7.1-2
Depends: perl, mailx, gawk

$ grep-aptavail -FProvides  mail-transport-agent | grep ^Package
Package: esmtp-run
Package: exim
Package: exim4-daemon-heavy
Package: exim4-daemon-light
Package: hula-mta
Package: masqmail
Package: nullmailer
Package: postfix
Package: sendmail-bin
Package: ssmtp
Package: xmail
Package: smail
Package: zmailer
Package: courier-mta

(I've pasted them here, because I might need that list later.)
