These actually behave slightly differently. The former fully replaces the
mail_plugins, while the latter adds to the mail_plugins. So if the converter
did what you suggested, it might not always be correct. Looks like the
converter already does do it when your input is:
protocol lmtp {
mail_plugins = $mail_plugins sieve
}
-->
protocol lmtp {
mail_plugins {
sieve = yes
}
}
