Please unblock package sendmail
sendmail does not cleanly restart after upgrading from buster because
the binaries were moved from /usr/lib/sm.bin to /usr/libexec/sendmail.
So let's stop sendmail in preinst if upgrading from a version with the
old layout. (To minimize downtime sendmail is usually not stopped before
the new version gets unpacked, but only restarted in postinst.)
unblock sendmail/8.15.2-22
