My system has an empty /var/spool/mail dir. However, whenever procmail
is run, it creates an empty /var/spool/mail/<username> system mailbox
(as is mentioned in the man page). Is there any way of avoiding this?

I can't answer in much detail now, but in short, recompile procmail with 
a different value for ORGMAIL.  That is happening because of the sanity 
check, where if you invoke procmail without the -m option, it makes sure 
that $ORGMAIL exists.
