Yes, there is a difference between renaming a port, and renaming the =
vuxml (which is the
database behind pkg audit etc.) entries. The entries are listed as =
=E2=80=98dovecot2-*=E2=80=99 there and
when renaming a port these entries should ideally be renamed too.

It seems that that was not under consideration at the name change =
moment(s).

I=E2=80=99ll try to look into this (starting by prodding the person(s) =
who did the rename) and asking them
to rename the entries in vuxml as well.

There had been no policy change. The application backend is just =
matching on what
was recorded at the moment it was added.

Thanks for the notification though, we should add that to the =
porters-handbook.

Cheers
