Did some investigation now and could bring up the latest and greatest
by adding missing defaults after comparing an old 'doveconf -a' dump:

[ 20-managesieve.conf ]
+   vsz_limit = 64M

Manually uncommented the entry in the file.

It then gave me:

$ invoke-rc.d dovecot start
Starting IMAP/POP3 mail server: dovecotdoveconf: Fatal: Error in
configuration file /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf: service(lmtp): vsz_limit
is too low
 failed!

Previous settings would indicate default of:

service lmtp {
  [...]
  vsz_limit = 0
}

That does not work anymore though. Manually set a size in
'master.conf' therefore:

[ 10-master.conf ]

service lmtp {
  [...]
  vsz_limit = 64M
}

Now Dovecot comes up. Not sure what value would be reasonable for the
LMTP Service. Point is: It should pull reasonable defaults which it
obviously does not.
