retitle dovecot-antispam: should have a versioned dovecot dependency thanks
On closer examination of dovecot's plugin system, this isn't just an issue with backports, but whenever there's a new upstream version of dovecot in unstable... None of the backported dovecot-antispam versions seem to have a versioned dependency on dovecot-imapd, making it impossible to tell which version of dovecot they're meant to work with (lenny? lenny-backports? squeeze? An out-of-date lenny-backports dovecot? ...). Similarly, none of the versions uploaded to Debian proper have a versioned dependency. Dovecot 1.2 actually imposes the requirement that plugins are built against the same upstream version being used (see also <http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=456021>, which requests that this be loosened as much as possible; this probably needs extensive upstream cooperation, and might not be feasible at all). As a result, dovecot-antispam should probably have a dependency on dovecot-imapd (>= 1.2.6), dovecot-imapd (<< 1.2.7), or a virtual package dovecot-plugin-abi-1.2.6, or something similar... Another way to handle this would be to subsume dovecot-antispam into the dovecot source package, as seems to have been done for various other plugins?
