This appears to be intentional and security-related.
See <http://bugs.debian.org/984810> and
<https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2021-28374>.

Perhaps this should be considered a bug in maildrop, rather than in
courier-authdaemon.  I'm not familiar with maildrop or what privileges
it requires.  The package description says it runs setgid "mail", whereas
this authdaemon directory is only accessible to group "courier".  But I
don't know how to fix it without breaking other things.
