J, you probably should not fill bugs when you are pissed.
This bug report is not a bug report, but a complaint. If you have
anything you want to fix, you should say it. You are also more then
welcome to send patches or join the effort to package Courier MTA in
Debian as you clearly use it and understand the problems with the
packages.
