I do not know what OS you are packaging for but if you are looking for 
rpms, fedora has released rpms that include seive in the same srpm as
dovecot. I took their .src.rpm and rebuilt it on EL4/Centos4 and it spit
out seperate dovecot and sieve binary rpms that so far work as advertised, at
least for me.
