Ah I see. Thanks for explaining.

Then this is some kind of conflict. In Debian (where ssmtp comes from)
and Ubuntu prefix is set to /usr so the paths end up /usr/sbin/ssmtp.
Without this would be /sbin/ssmtp as before in ptxdist. We could leave
it there but I'd like the symlink of sendmail to be in
/usr/sbin/sendmail.

I guess you assume this could break someones setup when changing from
/sbin/ssmtp to /usr/sbin/ssmtp right?
