I wouldn't. GID's of mail programs are probably hard coded into the tar
file (in the deb). This would mean a bunch of sgid disk programs instead
of mail after you upgrade your mail deliverly software.

This is the right list. It's just that many of us miss questions when we
get busy. Another option may be to ask on irc (at irc.debian.org). The
audience is usually smaller, but you have a better chance of getting an
answer (if people are awake that is).
