The fix is easy:
- sudo aptitude purge maildrop
- download the maildrop tar.bz2 from http://www.courier-mta.org/download.php#maildrop
- follow the install instructions
- sudo aptitude install libpcre3-dev
- ./configure
- ./make
- ./make install-strip
- ./make install-doc
- change .fetchmailrc to use /usr/local/bin/maildrop instead of /usr/bin/maildrop
There are two packages in the repositories; maildrop and courier-maildrop. maildrop has been (in my opinion erroneously) compiled with courier-auth support, and courier-authlib has been made a pre-req. That may well have needed to be done for courier-maildrop, but I don't think it should be done for standalone maildrop.
