I would think it could done this way, see if the installer did it, if so skip it on first-time start up, otherwise do it on first-time startup.

That's silly. The first thing I try with any new install is test it out. The idea of generating the DH key during install is useful.
Well, the problem with this is that there's no standard way to "install Dovecot". Each binary package builder would have to do this separately. For people installing from sources there would have to be some special command for doing this and instructions for doing this.
Unless you mean that it should work exactly as now, except Dovecot shouldn't be left running in background before the DH parameters are generated? I don't see much difference here. And it'd need more code :)
