Package: dovecot
Version: 1:1.0.9-1
Severity: normal

Dovecot currently requires plugins to build with the exact version of
dovecot they run against.  This makes packaging dovecot plugins
logistically difficult.  Please consider loosening the versioning
requirements for the plugin interface, and supporting something like
the standard shared library mechanism of designating compatible and
incompatible versions.  For example, a plugin built against dovecot
version N should run against dovecot newer than the last version
before N that added to the plugin interface, as long as the newer
version did not remove or change any symbols in the plugin interface.
