[Dovecot] Unable to get Managesieve working

[Cliff Dunn]

I didn't follow those instructions as I assumed that it would be 
installed with Dovecot from the Debian repositories.  See output of 
commands below.  And thanks again for the help!

# find /usr/lib/dovecot | grep sieve
/usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lda/lib90_sieve_plugin.so
/usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lda/lib90_sieve_plugin.la
/usr/lib/dovecot/managesieve
/usr/lib/dovecot/managesieve-login

# apt-cache policy dovecot-sieve
N: Unable to locate package dovecot-sieve

# dpkg -l "dovecot*"
