That all seems to be there and I didn't notice anything wrong.

Those also appear to be there, but .... there appears to be a 
missing link in the  /usr/share/man/man8 directory:

sendmail.8.gz -> /etc/alternatives/mta-sendmailman

if my FC3 structure is anything to go by.  Manually adding it allows 
the "man sendmail" syntax to work.
