I think this is the primary road-block to a popular qmail package. 
Everyone with a qmail installation today likely has a very custom setup.

My installations have 
https://jeremy.kister.net/code/qmail-1.03.isp.patch which is a 
collection of patches that are unmergable in themselves to vanilla qmail 
source.

this patch requires a vpopmail installation before qmail can compile, 
which means a qmail must already be available (because it's a vpopmail 
dependency).

even my ucspi-tcp has a patch of patches.

Im not sure how there could be a package that everyone could use, unless 
something like installation packages were named with the patch name that 
had a dependency on the base package.  but i dont even think that would 
take off because it'd be confusing for new users.

i love the name notqmail. :)
