I was sure I had done this somewhere;  checking through several systems
showed this near the top of /etc/mail/mimedefang-filter (just before
filter_sender on that particular system):

# Force the correct quarantine dir.
$QuarantineDir = "/var/spool/MD-Quarantine/";

And it's on a system running a locally-backported MD 2.51 on Debian
(woody), no less.  <g>

(As for "Why isn't it where I expect it?", the answer is probably
"Debian Policy".  IIRC at one point the quarantine and work directories
were the same by default in the official MD tarball though.)
