Not quite 0day but I have prepared .debs and put them on
http://src.braincells.com/dovecot-test/.  These packages are deliberately
non-aptable. You need to download them and manually install them with dpkg
-i. Do not use them if you are at all worried about potentially losing
mail.

- make it work with gnutls10.

I have compiled the current versions with openssl because when using
gnutls7 it causes segfaults with other Debian libraries (e.g. LDAP) which
are now using gnutls10.
