Correct. This is not Microsoft Windows. Stuff like a webmail server is

The manual action taken is modifying my apache config to expressly look
for those binaries as CGIs at the given path.
And it makes maintenance even easier if you were to use a packaging system
which rolled up the webmail server in a separate subpackage that needs to be
explicitly installed; and the separate subpackage installed everything with
the right permissions.
Sure. I like to download tarball, unpack, run custom ../
configure.courier shell script, make, su, umask, make install. Writing
some custom packager is not on my agenda.
So now, you don't get a surprise in terms of a webmail server, unless you
explicitly choose to install it, and all upgrade issues are no longer
applicable.
Okay, fair enough reasoning.
I'll write a post-install script to achieve what I want.
