Hi!

As some of you know, I've been working on better out-of-the-box dovecot
and postfix integration in Ubuntu.

Status of the work is at:

https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dovecot/+bug/164837

We kind of all agreed on having this integrated trough task in tasksel.
Last debdiff provided there should be enough for this kind of setup.

Since these are all good changes for everybody, there are ideas on
moving this out of tasksel and into packages. This way everybody would
benefit from our changes.

I didn't do anything since last debdiff, so I would like to hear pros
and cons that that last idea (moving everything into packages).
Basically, if someone would install postfix, he automatically would get
dovecot-common (note that this isn't IMAP/POP3 daemon, but a SASL
component) and preconfigured system for Maildir.

I was supposed to present this on couple of last meetings, but I was
unable to attend them. New proposed meeting time should be much better.

Thanks
