bug#25802: Unable to run dovecot w/ non-opaque configuration

[Bake Timmons]

Trying to reconfigure my system running guix 0.12.0 for dovecot with
the default configuration object created by '(dovecot-configuration)'
results in:

guix system: error: exception thrown: #<condition %compound [message: "Invalid value for field path: \"lmtp\""] 4a6a140>

Adding a services list to the above works around the above error and
allows 'guix system reconfigure' to complete successfully.  However,
the generated dovecot.conf is rejected by doveconf:

doveconf: Error in configuration file /gnu/store...dove.cot.conf line 1: Expecting '{'

From my limited acquaintance with dovecot, the guix-generated syntax of, say,
ImapMaxLineLength 64000

disagrees with what I gather to be the normal dovecot.conf syntax of
imap_max_line_length = 64000

Thanks for your consideration!

Clément, Andy: WDYT?  :-)

I suspect commit 56aef188a2a014e254d3c93c8a79cd1fb5a1ece6 by Clément
might have fixed the syntax issue reported here.

Indeed this has been fixed, I'm closing the bug.  Bake, if you still
reproduce after making sure you're up-to-date, do not hesitate to
re-open. :)

Actually, there were two bugs.  The "lmtp" one has been fixed by commit
eba560765a5afccbc5d3b64df410d89b1f79a18e.
