[Dovecot] 1.1 -> 1.2 upgrade?

[Mark Zealey]

I'm a little confused by the following statement on that page:

If you were using e.g. mail_location = maildir:/var/mail/%h, just change 
it to mail_location = maildir:%h and add /var/mail/ prefix to home dirs.

However, looking at the patch 
(http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-1.2/rev/dd49cf3fd2c9) and a bug report 
(http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2009-July/041151.html) it seems to 
be more requiring the mail location path to start with a / ? ie the case 
the bug is with something like:

mail_location = maildir:foo/bar/%h

which would cause problems (looking at the patch in previous versions it 
would have treated the above as /foo/bar/%h) ?

I'm asking because I'd like to confirm that the following works 
correctly on v1.2 (in my tests it seems to):

mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir:INDEX=/var/dovecot/%h

ie putting index's elsewhere (but based on home directory path rather 
than the more traditional user/domain)

Thanks,

Mark
