You use mbox format so you really should use use lock files when writing
to mailboxes. That is, use ":0:" instead of ":0" in .procmailrc file,
like this:

    :0:
    * ^To: .*bugs\.debian\.org
    debian-bugs

But consider using Maildir format instead. It doesn't need lock files.
With procmail you can do it by adding "/" after the mailbox name:

    :0
    * ^To: .*bugs\.debian\.org
    debian-bugs/
