Many people don't routinely cc the poster of a question unless asked.
The convention on most Debian lists is to reply to the list; if you want
copies by private mail, ask for them and/or set the Mail-Followup-To:
header.

Is that what you mean - you aren't subscribed to debian-user and were
surprised not to get copies of replies by private mail?

(I've assumed from your mail that you want a copy in this case, of
course.)
