Helo, here i my debian startup script:

and to runlevel copy script (in /etc/init.d directory): 
update-rc.d dovecot defaults 98 02

#!/bin/sh -e

PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/dovecot/bin/dovecot
DAEMON=/usr/local/dovecot/sbin/dovecot
NAME=dovecot
DESC="IMAP server"

test -x $DAEMON || exit 0

case "$1" in
        start)
                echo -n "Starting $DESC: $NAME"
                start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --oknodo --exec $DAEMON
                echo "."
        ;;
        stop)
                echo -n "Stopping $DESC: $NAME"
                start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --oknodo --exec $DAEMON
                echo "."
        ;;
        restart|force-reload)
                echo -n "Restarting $DESC: $NAME"
                start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --exec $DAEMON
                sleep 1
                start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --exec $DAEMON
                echo "."
        ;;
        *)
                echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart|force-reload}" >&2
                exit 1
        ;;
