This file was brought to life by 1e1ad02 during the whole viol-merge
saga.  This was a mistake, as it's belonged to sendmail-base for years.

What would be the best course of action?  Should we remove that file
manually in postinst when 1.3.0 <= old_version < 1.3.x?  Is this
foolproof?  (I'm trying to think of a sitation where this would result
in us pulling the rug from under sendmail-base's feet.  What about when
installing s-b *and* upgrading l-d in one swoop?  Would that fool dpkg?)
