So am I.  We should follow upstream's default on this issue IMO.  If
upstream changes that to lmtp_downcase_rcpt: 1, then so should we.  Note
that upstream might make that change for 2.3 only (I doubt they will touch
2.2), but we could follow their intent and change the 2.2 default in Debian.

Now, for what I think should be requested upstream: RFC2821 clearly states
(see page 37) that hosts should try to have case-*insensitive* local parts,
so IMHO we would have grounds for asking upstream to change that default.
