See the docs at www.debian.org .  There are quite a few.
        Also there is a book on debian (OReilly ?) , its also on the net,
but I can't remember where.

        Debian currently follows the FSSTND .  There is nothing
in /usr/local .  Thats all for your site.

        I believe all the debian defaults put mail in /var/spool 
(I'm not sure if there is a script to let you choose.)  With sendmail
I think you just edit the directory in /etc/passwd  to change this.

agrees

debian puts bins in /usr/lib/majordomo  (all files that are static)
puts variable files in /var/lib/majordomo
puts docs in /usr/doc/majordomo  
This goes for all packages
