Description of problem: When looking at /usr/share/doc/dovecot-* directory all files there make an _impression_ of beeing current at the time of packaging and one wonders why USE-WIKI-INSTEAD admonishion is called for. Only digging through sources brings to ligth that most of these files are actually from the beginning of 2003 and original timestamps carry an information that these descriptions may be correct but not quite. :-) It is likely something as simple as missing 'install -p -m...' instead of straight 'install -m...', or equivalents, in few crucial places and it would be rather helpful.
Thanks, fixed in rawhide.
