Andrei's method with the send-hook would work if you don't want a copy
saved when you mail to debian-user. However, if you want the copy saved,
& then deleted, but only after you receive the copy from the mailing list,
that's more complicated. That will require a script, I think, or to make it
even more complicated, you can set up procmail so that when it sees a
message from you to debian-user it runs a script (Bash, Perl, whatever)
that looks for a mail with the same title in your sent folder and deletes
it. 

This is sounding more complicated than it's worth. :)
