So this results in the homedirectory being replaced by this config

That would be useful also. I think something like you can do with
Postfix would be best. Postfox allows this:
ldapvirtual_result_filter = /mail/%s
...in the config file which allows you to do pretty much anything with
the result. This would also be useful to me, as I still have to add the
/mail to the path given by the maildir_attr even with my patch, but can
do this via the maildroprc.
My change just gives me a default HOME, which I want to be set to /mail
at first so that maildrop can then read the maildroprc, which has tests
to check if the user mailbox exists, and if not to create it (needed in
a virtual setup - I don't understand why someone hasn't added it yet).
If maildrop is set with the user's homedir as its home it will bomb out
if home doesn't exist.
So, I still want what you want, but I think being able to set a default
homedirectory_attr is useful. Unfortunately my C skills were pretty much
exhausted with my little copy-and-paste patch ;-(

This is the only way I could get maildrop working with my virtual setup

It allows the setting of a default_homedirectory instead of getting this
from LDAP. This was maildrop has a directory to work form and can read
in its maildroprc to get the rest of its setup.
