oh, you're right. the dovecot ignores are in the logcheck package,
that is right up2date in unstable, but since I use a backport of
dovecot, and not a backport of logcheck, I miss rules specific to
dovecot 1.0. That could be a better idea to have the logcheck file
of dovecot to be shipped with dovecot-common instead, to avoid such
problems.

the only thing you need to do for that is to provide a :
debian/dovecot-common.logcheck.ignore.server file and to
call dh_installlogcheck for dovecot-common. you can take the one
in the current logcheck package (attached).

that would create a /etc/logcheck/ignore.d.server/dovecot-common
that won't clash with the logcheck one, and also do not need any
form of conflict, and you'll only need to open a bug on logcheck
that tells that you are taking care of it now.

it looks like to me it's the best thing to do, but you can ignore
it if you are not convinced, hence the whishlist severity.

Cheers,
