Well.. If your virtual users don't all have the same quota then yes,
you'll have to use two fields. Otherwise you could kludge around it :)

plugin {
  quota_rule = *:storage=2G
}

Then have LDAP return quota=fs:noenforcing or quota=maildir.

Or alternatively if your system users are also in /etc/passwd, or you're
using nss_ldap or something, you could do something like:

userdb passwd {
  args = quota=fs:noenforcing
}
userdb ldap {
  args = ..
}
plugin {
  quota = maildir
}

And return quota_rule from ldap.
