-package works here on 7.2 and 7.3. I do -sendmail on 7.2 and on 7.3
-sendmail and -postfix and I install postfix later. Works fine for me. 
Just a thought are you by chance telling kickstart to satisfy all dependancies?
Maybe that is what is adding it. I noticed I also have a -sendmail-cf in mine.
I do not auto satisfy dependancies I add or rm the packages to satisfy deps 
by hand.  Maybe that is the difference.
