Bug Description
dovecot-postfix installs a configuration file in /etc/dovecot/
Users should expect that creating another file in this directory whose filename is lexicographically greater -- for example, 99-myconf.conf -- will override this file.
However, due to a bug in dovecot 1.2.9, the include files are parsed in reverse order.
Evidently this bug was fixed in dovecot 2.0 in http://
So, a backport of this bugfix might be in order.

Note that to back-port the patch, the same line would be found in
src/lib-
get the feeling this is something which we would not want to change in
lucid (behavioral change), and should get pulled in with a merge in
maverick?
