As I mentioned on IRC, I really don't see the point of having two
maildrops in Debian. Why do we need both maildrop and courier-maildrop?
It seems that Stefan custom-tailored courier-maildrop, whose description
states:
The installation of this package is recommended only for using it in
conjunction with the sqwebmail package. Please use the standalone maildrop
package otherwise.
Compared to the current maildrop 2.x package (in experimental), the
dependencies only differ in the fact that the courier-maildrop package
depends on courier-base, while maildrop has a plugin for courier-authlib.
There's also a libfam0 dependency in courier-maildrop, but it's not
immediately obvious to me what it could be for.
The versioning scheme is clearly different.
Once maildrop 2.x is in unstable/testing, could it be possible to make
courier-maildrop ony a set of scripts that tune maildrop proper, and depend
on it?
Sam answered my question about the difference between maildrop and
courier-maildrop as follows:

Same as it's always been. The Courier build gets the mailbox location
from environment variables set by Courier. The standalone build uses
the -d option, and courier-authlib.
