I thought that the convention was to use ``minused'' addresses for this:

  karlheg-cvsweb@debian.org

That's certainly the qmail way of doing things, and I seem to remeber a 
discussion on djb-qmail that concluded that someone who was using plussed 
addresses was doing so just to be different.

Of course qmail can handle plusses too, but minusses are the default.
