I pretty well avoid that by using "contains" instead of "matches".
e.g.,

if $h_X-Mailing-List: contains "ebian-" then
  save $home/Mail/deb
endif

Not quite as precise as your

> if $h_X-Mailing-List matches "^<debian-(.*)@lists\\\\.debian\\\\.org>"

but it's a lot simpler and seems to work just as well.  I haven't
gotten a false hit off it yet.
