Bug Description

The dovecot-postfix package does not only contain settings required for the dovecot - postfix integration.
But is does also change the default dovecot settings for IMAP, POP3, mail_location and the SSL settings.
Install this package on a working system, and your signed SSL certificat is replaced by a self signed certificat.
By messing up the SSL certificat, it can create a security problem.
