I would regard this as a bug, only in that there should be some detection of this status and appropriate messaging rather than just a blanket couldn't upgrade. It seems fairly likely that a Dovecot installation would have a customized certificate. To be honest, the customization of this package happened so long ago that I had forgotten that I had installed my own certificate so it made it doubly baffling.
Just saying, but thanks for the response and your hard work.
