There is a debian package in the experimental section, but it depends on libc6, and I'm not game to upgrade til I stop seeing posts saying they had to reinstall an old package to make things work again.
I installed qmail happily. Compiled easily into /var/qmail I decided to install sendmail and then follow the instructions that came with the source for replacing sendmail. This works because you avoid the dselect dependency issues. It thinks sendmail is installed. I don't know how this will help with procmail. Sendmail is going to ask for deliver. You could force it, but I feel this kind of messes up your packaging system, which is one of the reasons I switched to debian in the first place. I also d/l the qmail package and looked through it for useful things. It puts the binaries in different places and uses an init.d script that I don't understand. Despite this when I have libc6, I'll replace my install with the package. david..
