I'm gunna but in here for a quick question :)

So, in using...

user_query = select 26 as uid, 26 as gid, '/var/vmail/%d/%1n/%1.1n/%
2.1n/%n' as home, <snip>

mail_location = maildir:/var/vmail/%d/%1n/%1.1n/%2.1n/%n/Maildir   

...  that is no longer the preferred way? 

We should just use mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir    along with our
existing user_query?

Obviously things work fine now, but may this change/break in the future?
Given it relies on 'deliver', but that does seems to query for home
using user_query.
