+2.  Right from the FHS section -

"/var/spool contains data which is awaiting some kind of later 
processing. Data in /var/spool represents work to be done in the future 
(by a program, user, or administrator); often data is deleted after it 
has been processed."

Having a configuration parameter as well is always good - but make 
/var/spool/dovecot the default.
