Package: dovecot-core Version: 1:2.3.4.1-5+deb10u6 Severity: normal The systemd unit does not specify that dovecot should be started after remote-fs.target (in after= clause). This is in contrast to the init.d script, which does specify it should wait for $remote_fs.
Most other similar packages (exim4, apache, greylistd) do wait on remote-fs.target. I have checked the package in buster and it is also affected.
