Well, I started doing the reply to all thing after I saw a very long 
thread in Con Kolivas' mailing list where many people replied to all. I 
guess because some of these kernel developers (including the likes of 
Ingo Mollnar) weren't subscribed to the list. Probably nobody was 
expecting them to spend a significant part of the day browsing all the 
mailing lists they might have posted a reply to (or somebody crossposted 
their messages), to see if somebody wrote back to them.

In my case, I don't mind the dupe message and I get both in the 
Debian-AMD64 folder anyway. However, I'm sure you are right and that for 
normal threads it suffices to just send a reply to the list so I'll go 
back to doing it that way.

Thanks and sorry for the offtopic thread,
