Yes.

<http://pyropus.ca/software/getmail/faq.html#faq-about-why> covers many
reasons.

Or is it your advice for the OP's aim to directly deliver messages to
a mbox or maildir without exim and without running an MDA.

I didn't read the OP's message as indicating that one piece of software
needed to deliver to that place without invoking another. Indeed, "I want a Debian system" would seem to support using multiple bits (such as
getmail + a MDA such as Exim)
