I use exim's filtering capability instead of procmail (and I dump all
my debian lists into a single mailbox), but

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

seems to work pretty well for me.  I'll have one message slip by
every couple months or so, but not enough to be a bother.  Maybe you
just need to modify the regexes you're matching against
X-Mailing-List to be a little less demanding, although I would expect
that header to be set identically on every message...
