dovecot package

I'm trying to contribute a package to the AUR for the dovecot mail server.

dovecot installs files in /lib and /libexec

usr/lib/dovecot/imap/
usr/lib/dovecot/imap/libimap_quota_plugin.a
...
usr/libexec/dovecot/imap
usr/libexec/dovecot/imap-login
...

but the packaging standars say "Avoid using /usr/libexec/ for anything. Use /usr/lib/{pkg} instead".

If I try to do that using (/configure --libexecdir=/usr/lib) a confict comes up between the directory 'usr/lib/dovecot/imap/' and the file 'usr/libexec/dovecot/imap'

What can I do?
I am thinking about using '--libexecdir=/usr/lib/dovecot-exec' but sure you have better ideas

Re: dovecot package

why are you contributing when there's already a PKGBUILD in there?

Re: dovecot package

Perhaps there was not a PKGBUILD in 12 of 2005 when he posted that.
