Now we know it doesn't work. (I have reassigned another bug report to
courier in this regards.)
Here are the summary of differences and their compatibility.
OK 0001-sendmail-path.patch
NOT COMPAT. 0002-filter-permissions.patch
<--- permission rules are altered!
MAYBE 0003-permanent-err.patch
<--- This is build time dependent code is always set to 75
as if HAVE_COURIER is set.
MAYBE 0004-deliver-extra-newlines.patch
<--- I am not touching this bug fix.
OK 0006-postfix-docs.patch
OK 0007-reproduceble-sh.patch
OK 0008-upstram.patch
UNUSED 0010-maildrop-2.3.0-dovecotauth.patch
Unless these are addressed, it is difficult to be drop in replacement
for courier-maildrop.
Also, debian/rules has:
| override_dh_fixperms:
| dh_fixperms
| (cd debian/maildrop/usr/bin && chgrp mail maildrop lockmail.maildrop)
| (cd debian/maildrop/usr/bin && chmod g+s maildrop lockmail.maildrop)
Unless courier family of other tools play nice with this permission, there may
be problem.

Osamu
