Hi Seth,
thanks you for the work.
However are you absolutley positive these .debs are built for the  
current stable Debian 4.0 "etch"?
Just tried to install them on a etch vm (openvz). They dont install.
The errors indicates the packages are actually build against "lenny"  
aka unstable.

All on my test environment:
# cat /etc/debian_version
4.0

# uname -r
2.6.18-12-fza-686-bigmem

# dpkg -i dovecot-common_1.1.2-1_i386.deb

I even tried a force install, but that come back with a nasty error.
