Tested autopkgtests manually as doing so on the images is still broken.
The old test was centered around mail-stack-delivery and made no sense for Debian.
Now that we dropped that but e.g. default ssl is part of dovecot-core we might refresh the tests and then make them usable for Debian as well.

Most works without mail-stack-delivery just fine, so lets consider cleaning those tests up and proposing them to Debian.

But this is again a case showing us the limits and pain of redundancy.
These tests are maintained in git+ssh://git.launchpad.net/qa-regression-testing and only there.
Due to that the in package tests bit rot already, unless we want to move the tests fully (and only) into the package we won't succeed and always to work twice.

I'll fix the issues in the upstream (test) repo, but drop the tests from the package.
The package already has tests, and those we carry here we run in addtion to the autopkgtests on major changes (like an SRU or a Merge).
