It would be great if I could set some variable which would cause
procmail to deliver messages to Maildirs without marking them new.
Ideally, one could control which of the three states, new, old, and
seen, is used.
new delivered to new, no S flag
old delivered to cur, no S flag
seen delivered to cur, S flag set

That would violate the Maildir standard:
Quoting http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maildir#Technical_operation
The delivery process stores the message in the maildir by creating and
writing to tmp/unique, and then hard-linking this file to new/unique.
It seems that a tool to move certain messages from new to cur would
make you happy. However, I don't think such tool should be part of
the procmail package.
My suggestion is that you contact the author directly or ask in the
procmail mailing list about this, as I don't think I should suggest
the author to break the standard in the name of Debian.
Thanks.
