I symlink in certificates that I pay for to make my ssl services work.
Packages should not remove user data in root and the dovecot-common package
overwrote my ssl key and certificate files. It appears that the postinst
tries to be cute and handle making new certificates and migrating from imapd.
This is far too much automated handholding and must be disabled to prevent
data loss.
See #330519 for an opposing view. Something must be done but we still
haven't decided exactly what. Lars suggested on debian-devel that there
should be some uniform way of handling the installation and removal of
certificates and people generally agreed that it was a good idea but noone
has actually gotten around to doing anything about it yet.
