This is not necessary. /etc/userdb may be a directory, and installing a soft link from the subdirectory to an external file should also work.
Furthermore, the --with-userdb option to the configure script replaces /etc/userdb with something else. Since you're apparently packaging Courier-IMAP for yourself, this should be a workable solution to be added to your packaging script.
We don't build the userdb on the same host where we use it. In our installation, it's not practical to make the path to the userdb the same on the host where it's built and the host where courier-imap runs. So "--with-userdb" doesn't help us.
We could use the symlink trick, but what happens when we want to have a couple of different courier-imap installations with different userdbs? Do we re-create the symlink before building the userdb for each host? What if we want to build userdbs for more than one installation at the same time? This is not scalable.
Please reconsider?
