Hi,
I use dovecot-shared to add read permissions to the group in my mailserver, which uses virtual users. This is only to ease backups.
However, a few files are not created with the permissions indovecot-shared. I've seen this happen to 'subscriptions', 'maildirfolder' (when dovecot-shared exists; the change to correctly create maildirfolder in this case is very recent), and possibly 'maildirsize' (I'm not sure about this one, it might be exim that is creating it with wrong permissions.)
Fixed for maildirfolder creation: http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-1.1/rev/70523f420d35
As for subscriptions and maildirsize .. well, those are more difficult and I'm not sure if I should do such a change for v1.1.x releases anymore since it would change the behavior.
dovecot-shared file is supposed to be a per-mailbox configuration file. As a special case it's also copied to newly created mailboxes. But I'm not sure if it should affect global files such as maildirsize and subscriptions..
