IMHO it's easier to use procmail for this.  In my .procmailrc:

	:0:
	* ^TO.*debian-user@lists.debian.org
	${MAILDIR}/IN.debian-user

BTW, be sure you understand the correct behavior of send-hook.  8-) It
does not auto-magically save the messages.  You need to do that "by hand",
and then Mutt will show the folder you chose with save-hook as the
default.
