Yes I know that, I use the Courier schema with the mailbox but I'd like to not have to set it to Maildir/ for my virtual domain users in the OpenLDAP directory and instead use Maildir/ as a default

While this is not exactly what you are looking for, I wrote a small patch to define a default home directory attribute. I did this so I could have a home directory defined in LDAP for posix accounts (homeDirectory), and a default home directory defined for all virtual users.

(Strictly speaking I implemented a default_homedirectory_attr. This let me set the homedir for virtual users to equivalent to their maildir but let posix users use their real homedir. I did this so I could do fun things like deliver all virtual mail as a vmail user but deliver posix mail as the proper uid and still ensure that .mailfilter files would have the correct permissions for each type of delivery. The other solution would have been to write a custom LDAP schema.)

The patch, which I attach for posterity, is all of 43 lines, so a similar solution could be equally trivial in your case.
