AFAIK these entries are not used by courier-imap. I guess userdb has this so
that it could be used as a complete replacement for getpwnam() and
getpwuid(). A quick grep through the source shows calls to getpwnam but not
getpwuid.

When I was running courier-imap with a manually-created userdb I only
created forward entries, not reverse, and it worked fine.
