I just reproduced the dovecot question on a similar amd64 upgrade. Note
that before the upgrade, there exists /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf and
/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf.bak that differ like so:
ubu...@iijj-amd64:~$ diff -u /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf{,.bak}

Asking debconf to diff the maintainer's version versus the installed
version gives the following diff (note that there is no /etc/dovecot
/dovecot-postfix.conf or /dev/dovecot/dovecot-postfix.conf for that
matter):
