AFAIK, the reason the author has in this condition is that modified
versions don't stray away from the basic purpose of qmail - security,
modularity, configurability and lots others. 

Also, how many folks _distribute_ modified versions of software
anyway? Most generally modify them to their _own_ needs , which qmail has
never discouraged. 

Redhat folks(i have _no_ idea of Debian) have a habit of patching up
original software in their distributions with options which they _think_
are good for their users. I am guessing that this is the reason why we
don't have qmail in their distribs, ...rather the awful sendmail.

Anybody who would like to correct me here?
