I've found similar issues.  One particular problem is the creation of the 
database account.  I've had many problems related to databases.

Imp/Horde depend on PostgreSQL with the default settings, PostgreSQL (in 
Debian at least) is significantly more difficult to install and manage than 
MySql.  This difficulty isn't beneficial for Imp which in most cases does not 
have much importance to the database.

Imp supports LDAP and MySQL as alternate methods of storing the data.
