I think dot-forward should not be default in
the defaultdelivery. It's okay to have the package
installed, so users can add it themselves if they
need it, but most users dont need dot-forward,
so it's an extra invocation per message in the
delivery pipeline.


Reproducible: Always

ok
new defaultdelivery and /etc/skel/.qmail file:
# Uncomment the next line for .forward support
#|dot-forward .forward
./.maildir/

and i'll add support to the rc script to support comments like that same as the dot-qmail manpage states.

is that solution suitable?
