Yes, but for not wasting Dan's time, I wanted to ask this list to overlook
the packages. There are READMEs to the packages, I put in
ftp://ftp.innominate.org/pub/pape/Debian/unofficial/ . They explain how I
did follow http://cr.yp.to/qmail/var-qmail.html , respecting
http://cr.yp.to/qmail/dist.html .

that's why I put the binaries in /usr/{bin,sbin}/ and link into
/var/qmail/bin/.
If there is interest in having qmail in the debian-distribution, perhaps I
get Dan J. Bernstein's approval sometime.
Getting the packages into debian is the easier part, I think, that is what
lintian reports as errors by now:
