Sure.

Bad idea. Why do you want to share a mail spool over NFS? Because
there's another machine that wants to access the mail, or the mail
is stored on another machine and you want to access it. That
other machine might well not be a Debian machine, and it could
be very hard to change that machine over to maildir.
I'll fix liblockfile - I just didn't have the time yet. Perhaps
in a week or so, maybe two.
