This is a dumb way to do things.  If it can't go into etcskel, then
each Maildir aware application should attempt to make the entry to
/etc/skel.

Actually, if postfix did this, it would be enough.  Chances are, if
someone is going to use something Maildir-aware, they will either a)
install postfix or b) install no MTA (to install qmail later, for
example).  So postfix would likely be installed before any users are
added.

Having this in contribs is just an extra package people won't think to
install, and one additional dependency.
