But make sure it's in control/rcpthosts, of course.

I would prefer |forward "`/usr/local/bin/pkg2maint "$EXT2"`" for
security.

A better way to bounce when a maintainer is not found would be to do
something like |/usr/local/bin/pkgforward "$EXT2" where pkgforward
execs qmail's forward if a maintainer is found, or prints "unknown
package" or "maintainer not found" as appropriate and returns 100.
If you've got 1000 or so spare inodes, you could just make a
~alias/.qmail-package-packagename for each package, containing
"&[EMAIL PROTECTED]" or whatever.
If packages.debian.org is really master.debian.org, you could use
users/assign to map "packages-packagename" to "maintername".
If you don't want to worry about unescaping the various formats of
email addresses, add the appropriate Resent-... and Delivered-To:
(from DTLINE) headers, set some env. vars and pipe the resulting
message into qmail-inject, telling it to get its recipients from the
message headers.
I could probably be persuaded to write this... :-)
