I believe that you at one time told debconf that the mailbox command should
be:
mailbox_command = procmail -a "$EXTENSION"
and it was simply enforcing what you told it.
Maintaining a file with both debconf and vi is extremely problematic, and prone
to the admin discovering that he changed something in the wrong place.
