It's a plausible design that the agent doing final delivery accepts
responsibility for delivery to multiple local mailboxes (I've often had things
that ended up delivering to root@localhost and valdis@localhost with one
invocation of the local delivery agent, for example).  Should the agent
generate two Delivered-To: headers, or does it *actually* get generated
appropriately for each copy (at a time later than when the agent accepted
responsibility)?
