Indeed, that is indeed how DNS reports it... but it is like that,
because master.debian.org hosts the list archives... but
murphy.debian.org does the mail.. how does that work? via MX records:

$ mx lists.debian.org
lists.debian.org        MX      10 klecker.debian.org
lists.debian.org        MX      0 murphy.debian.org
lists.debian.org        MX      5 master.debian.org

so, all mail to lists.debian.org eventually makes its way to
murphy.debian.org, since it has priority 0 .

lists.debian.org        A       216.234.231.130
master.debian.org       A       216.234.231.130

murphy.debian.org       A       216.234.231.6

and from memory, murphy is actually sitting on the shelf beside master.
