Yap... This is the default directory for creating user areas... That
means...
You you issue adduser, Linux searches for /etc/skel and puts the contents
of this directory on the user homedir... SO if you put Maildir into this
directory, every user you add to your system will have a Maildir directory
by default...
This is for RedHat based systems... For Debian I think the default
directory is not /etc/skel... issue 
locate skel
and you'll find out where the directory is...
Hope it helps
