If this is official Debian policy, then why don't they set the Reply-To
header to be the list?  As it is now, every time I reply, I have to manually
edit the addressee list.  Hitting Reply only goes to the original poster.
Reply All goes to the poster and the list.

I know that there's another side to the debate.

    Since Reply-To munging adds additional functionality, it
    actually increases freedom of choice. Not only can you now
    reply only to the list, you still have the option to reply
    to the original author, or to all recipients, easily and
    conveniently.

Except... that's not true. On the lists I'm subscribed to which do reply-to munging, both <Reply> and <Reply All> only reply to the list address.
