Yes, although its a bit messy. I also have folders under $HOME/Mail/
which are archives only (i.e. not mentioned in .mailfilter, but created
with the "save" or "copy" from mutt.) which I'm guessing shouldn't be
under the IMAP directory structure?

That would be great! Would this be ok:
# Mailboxes which get new mail.
mailboxes `echo $HOME/.Maildir/*`
When mail arrives into one of the mailboxes i.e. will mutt say "New mail
in $HOME/.Maildir/IN-debian-user" then if you press c then return will
mutt 'open' $HOME/.Maildir/IN-debian-user and the new message is flagged
as new just as it does now?

Don't forget to check that your /etc/apt/sources.lst entries point to
etch and not testing, otherwise you may end up with a broken system once
etch goes stable.
