imho they are different things
1. smtpdaemon means something that listens port 25
2. sendmail wrapper is package that provides /usr/lib/sendmail

are there any program that really needs smtpdaemon in this context?

i'd propose to use /usr/lib/sendmail Provides/Requires pairs when program 
needs /usr/lib/sendmail binary (and drop smtpdaemon if none actually needs 
it).
