Setting procmail globally for maildir delivery

Hi,
I'm running a small mailserver using Postfix on a Debian Etch machine. For various reasons I decided to switch from the default mailbox format to maildir, and I did it by adding the relevant configuration parameters in Postfix's main.cf and removing the following line in that same file, which Debian has by default:

    mailbox_command = procmail -a "$EXTENSION"

But this leaves me without procmail, which I now need to use.

So, how can I "re-add" procmail in my server's mail delivery process, while keeping the current maildir format? Shall I add a global /etc/procmailrc file which moves mails inside users' Maildirs? I'm not sure it's a good idea, based on what I read on http://wiki.dovecot.org/QuestionsAndAnswers (I'm using Dovecot as POP3/IMAP server):

"You should stick to using $HOME/.procmailrc files for each user instead of using a system-wide /etc/procmailrc file. Procmail seems to have some intermittent delivery problems if you use the system-wide configuration with Maildir style mailboxes."

Thanks for any clues.
