Hi,

Just dropping in - I'm the intending new Debian maintainer for nullmailer and I'd be open to reviewing the decision on dbug:271662 ( http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=271662 )

It still seems to be the case, however, that the -bs option for SMTP mail submission is mandated by LSB. Nullmailer doesn't do it by design, so the conflict is genuine and not likely to go away without some work. It may be possible to split the package so that only the part with /usr/lib/sendmail has the LSB conflict, or to find some lesser part of the LSB that we can conflict or conform with - I'll investigate this aspect once I've got my adoption upload done. Alternatively perhaps someone who wants LSB compliance could write a patch to implement -bs and solve the problem ? Please followup on the Debian BTS if you can, thanks.
