This kind of randomness happens a lot.  I figure it's one of three 
things: either (1) the sender intended to ask debian-user this question; 
(2) the sender is on a shared computer and this was in the address book, 
and it just looked useful, or (3) it's some kind of spam.

If it's (1), how would someone "stumble" onto www.debian.org and learn 
the address?  I can imagine the clueless doing dumb things but that 
seems like a highly unlikely choice.

If it's (3), what is the purpose of sending such a pointless spam?  Is 
it just pointless anarchy?

(2) is a stretch.  Maybe debian-user is a link on some web page listing 
a collection of email support addresses, and the clueless just sort of 
click randomly to get here.
