Package: dovecot-core
Version: 1:2.1.7-5
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
Preparing to replace dovecot-core 1:2.1.7-2 (using
.../dovecot-core_1%3a2.1.7-5_amd64.deb) ...
the upgrade says:
You already have ssl certs for dovecot.
However you should move them out of /etc/ssl
and into /etc/dovecot and update the configuration
in /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-ssl.conf accordingly.
See /usr/share/dovecot-core/NEWS.Debian for details.
but the path is wrong, and there is no NEWS file even in /usr/share/doc.
regards,
calum.

It only matters for people using sid, who are not the target of
NEWS.Debian. People upgrading from squeeze will get the right entries.
