Reply-To is for users to set. Mailing lists often set it because many
MUAs do not take advantage of RFC2369 and ignore List-Post, which Debian
mailing lists set. MUAs like mutt and gnus are capable of
differentiating between replying to the poster, and replying to the
list. As such, Debian does not alter the reply-to: header for its
official mailing lists.
