You're free to change your sources.php and attributes.php to whatever you like.
I'm not sure, but I think cn was used instead of givenName/sn because that is
what the public ldap servers return from a search.
Another point is the feature that lets you add names to you addressbook from
within imp. And the mail header only give you a full name.
This is not an optimal soulution, I know.
