Is there a %%h, too?  So that, if we have

Another (more specific) problem in this context: Is is it possible
to
determine a users home calling an external program like
checkpassword?
This would be needed in an setup, where the users $HOME is set by an
checkpassword program to an compute value, to access another users
mailbox.

This would require doing a userdb lookup from dovecot-auth the same
way
as deliver or expire-tool does it.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by "this" here, are you referring to
the proposed `%%h' variable, too or only to my more specific problem
with computer HOME paths?

I think it's the same thing.

Is it? I might be wrong, but i thought for configurations where userdb
doesn't depend on the passdb implementing %%h as the home directory of
user %%u should be straight forward.  Or am I missing something?

I guess I just misunderstood what you meant. All I meant was that %%h expansion would always have to be done using a userdb lookup.
