In fact. I use it, but I had to modify it.

I talked several days ago with aj, but it was too late to make a NMU. Joy
was preparing it.
The only modification (suggested by Joy) to make it to work are:
chgrp mail /usr/lib/maildrop/bin/maildrop
chmod g+s /usr/lib/maildrop/bin/maildrop
It works for me from a lot of time with those, and I filed that RC bug.
The doubt is those modifications could create security problem...
