Hi Debian Dovecot maintainers.
I believe the run-time dependencies in the LSB fields in the header
of the init script are partly incorrect or missing. After reading
"Dependency based boot sequence"ยน I'd suggest to add $local_fs and
$remote_fs to the Required-{Start,Stop} headers.
In addition Dovecot should wait for the availableness of postgresql
and/or mysql.
Many installation uses a SQL backend to store user/password information
for Dovecot. Thus, I suggest to add postgresql and mysql to the Should-
{Start,Stop} headers.
I've attached a patch with the above mentioned modifications.
Regards,
Pascal
