Description of problem:

If a base system is installed including sendmail, then changes to /etc/mail/sendmail.mc are not reflected in sendmail.cf upon restart of the sendmail service unless the make package is also installed. I feels this breaks a principle of "least surprise".

The init script tests for make's existence and avoids updating
sendmail.cf if it doesn't exist.

It is arguable that is more logical to make the sendmail-cf package depend upon
"make" as one is only ever likely to install this package if one wants to update sendmail.cf via sendmail.mc, but to my mind the package which owns /etc/mail/Makefile should have a dependency upon "make".
