So why should there be a logcheck-database package at all?

The reason there is a logcheck-database package is because some  
maintainers don't know enough about regexp to create good enough  
rules for logcheck, or in some cases because they don't really want to.

The argument about rules in packages has been discussed on logcheck- 
devel in the past ("Integrating rules from other packages", June 2005  
- MID <1117764604.3502.39.camel at hercules.silverdream.hq>).

If the maintainer of courier wants to take over maintenance of  
logcheck rules, that's good, however I don't see that this warrants a  
bug against either package. Unless some rules for courier are incorrect?
