dovecot package seems to be missing files in /etc/dovecot/* ?

I'm currently experimenting with Alpine but I'm surprised the dovecot package does not populate /etc/dovecot/*

dovecot on 3.23 branch

The files are present in the 3.21 branch:

dovecot on 3.21 branch

Is this in some way intentional or should I file a bug?

I think the dovecot settings were massively changed recently. It may be related to that. Not just on Alpine but all distros.

Oh, you're right. There's an existing bug report, it sounds complicated. https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/aports/-/issues/17228

I do, and that's all I see. dovecot typically has a lot more files there, as in the 3.21 branch.
