doveconf -n not showing all changes

Hi,

Today I was testing the last dovecot release 2.3 from the dovecot repo 
on ubuntu 16.04. (I upgraded from 2.2.23)
I cannot recall if I noticed it before, but doveconf -n not showing all 
changes.


To be able to track my changes, I don't touch the config files provided 
in conf.d/ anymore, but I write them in local.conf (I did in the past so 
doveconf -n still shows something)

I was testing the new submission service so I added to local.conf:


protocols = imap pop3 lmtp sieve submission
service submission-login {
   inet_listener submission {
     # test
     port = 588
   }
}
submission_relay_host = 127.0.0.1


after restarting dovecot, submission works, mails get relayed. However 
doveconf -n shows:

protocols = imap pop3 lmtp sieve


This is very confusing.

Marc
