Package: dovecot-common
Version: 1:2.0.12-1
Severity: normal
dovecot's ssl-params sub-daemon appears to hardcode the path and
filename to its parameters file.
However, the other dovecot tools appear to look for the file using the
ssl_parameters_file configuration variable.
Launching dovecot as a non-privileged user without write permissions
to /var/lib/dovecot produces the following warnings on stderr, even if
ssl_parameters_file is set to a location where the user has read/write
permissions:

Feel free to forward this upstream if you think it would be useful.
thanks for maintaining dovecot in debian!
