The paths used on my packages were inherited from the packages
by RH as they were based on them and meant to server as an upgrade
path.

That's true, but I don't plan to update the package to the 2.[12].x 
series anytime soon. My IMAP server upgrade schedule is unclear

Perhaps I will update the package to a newer release to get in
some small fixes I had been taking note of, but always
in the 2.0.16 upstream version.
