is .procmailrc in your user's home dir?

I don't know which header you expect to find under "To".  I might be wrong,
but you might mean "To:";  also, the dot "." right after the @ sign... means
that procmail will look for a dot after the @ sign (which will not find, of
course);  and just in case there's something else between debian-user-diges
and the @ sign, I would suggest to ommit @, thus:

* ^To:.*debian-user-digest*
debian-user

But sometimes the address won't be in the "To:" header, but in "From:", or
"Cc:"... so this is what I do:

* ^(To|From|Cc):.*debian-user-digest*
debian-user
