I think this should a wishlist-bug

NoYes, because under Debian, courier use by default ~/Maildir/
and I think, it should be created.  After this, $USER can
change it to ther needs.

Right.

But adding a Script you courier-* which create ~/Maildir/ for
existing $USER would be nice.  (I have allready one and a meta
package which add it to /etc/skel)
