Upgrading Courier from source is entirely doable, and the built version
can match the installed version quite well, thanks to courier-config.
Most of the issues resulting from stepping outside the package
management system are the result of dependencies, either other packages
depending on the custom-built one, or on which the custom-built one
depends.  I don't imagine there's much in Ubuntu Server that depends on
Courier, but Courier's dependencies would have to be managed manually.
