My fault.

No, that just tells procmail to mention debian-${MATCH} in the log
file, as in which folder got that mail.

I mis-spoke, sorry. Thanks for finishing my thought for me. I used
to split them all into their own mbox. Your 00.debian-${MATCH} is
correct for splitting them that way.
Now, I read Debian mailinglists with slrn via the mail to News gateway
linux.debian.${MATCH} :-). I read mail with mutt, and only
occasionally get mails from Debian, and those all fall into
~/Mail/00.debian.
