I think the point was to have the debian packaging in sync, not that the generated package would be an old one. I haven't looked yet into the native deb packaging, but it would indeed be desirable that the resulting packages are as "compatible" as possible with the official ones, as in, that the package manager produces a working courier no matter which packages were already installed or the user switches to (it is not necessarily that they could be mixed, only that the package manager sorted them out).
