You could do that - updating /etc/mailer.conf and leaving mailwrapper as
the /usr/lib/sendmail - but you're probably better off updating your
postfix package to use mediated symlinks. If you set the priority to
'site' it should override mailwrapper upon installation.

Here's what we have in our MTA manifest now:

link mediator=mta
    mediator-implementation=citrus-sendmail
    mediator-priority=site
    path=usr/lib/sendmail
    target=../../opt/sendmail/sbin/sendmail

/opt/sendmail being where our Sendmail is.

Similar entries for mailq, newaliases and /usr/sbin/sendmail.
