I guess you may just make some new parameter
ssl_parameters_master_file, which is empty string by default, and copy
it into ssl_parameters_master_file to ssl_parameters_file ONLY if
ssl_parameters_master_file setting is not empty. Then the people who
need it may use this setting with any directory they want, and you do
not have to make any decision about directory :)

If ssl_parameters_master_file is set but the file is not present,
dovecot will call ssl-build-param to create it and then copy it into
the login directory. If it is not set, dovecot will generate the file
in login directory.

Do you like this suggestion? This would be the best for us.
