Right, I do care about being able to log into my IMAP server, thank you very much. Now that we got that cleared up, you can read my post about me not using any mysql functionality in dovecot, since all my database-driven IMAP auth is done through postgres.
Perhaps a possible course of action is to offer several dovecot-auth packages, with a default dovecot-auth-filesystem or whatever that uses the basic password auth, and then other dovecot- auth-{pgsql,mysql,ldap,...}. Then, there would be dovecot-auth-full for those who need several of those installed at the same time. I see it kind-of-like the apache2-mpm-worker and apache2-mpm-prefork, when one is installed, it uninstalls the other, etc. I don't know if this kind of packages are common, but I know that I would love to have them without having to manually recompile the src.
