Why won't it start?Clearly this is not the case for everyone. I'm sure there are plenty of instances of Courier-IMAP running just fine on Debian, with a working FAM.
If disabling the FAM daemon makes the difference, than there is some issue with some, not all, FAM installations. Generally, when there is an issue with a component, the correct solution is not to sweep it under the rug but to find out what's broken, and fix it. FAM uses portmap, as I recall, so this may also be a portmap issue as well.
I also note that some distros have switched to Gamin a long time ago. Gamin does not use a daemon. It uses the kernel inotify interface directly, to implement the FAM functionality.
