just noticed dovecot debian package would install mysql ... it probably depens on just any database and uses ymsql by default .. but anyway why does it need one ?
As far as I know dovecot does not require mysql or another database. Note that not the whole mysql DB will be installed, as I think, but only some client-libs. Perhaps they are required because dovecot is linked against them?
You should ask the maintainer or file a bug against the dovecot-common package IMHO. It should not be necessary to install mysql-stuff if you do not need it. But who knows about the internal technical things...
