Hi,
I am running a server under Ubuntu 11.04(natty) and I would like to install a 2.x version but unfortunately the only package available is 1.2.15. Of course I could compile and install from sources but I would prefer to handle packages because it's a lot simpler and cleaner. After some research I found some debian packages available here : http://xi.rename-it.nl/debian/pool/testing-auto/dovecot-2.0/
If you do not necessarrily need Natty, I can provide Lucid packages over Ubuntu PPA:

If more people want Natty packages, I will think about it building some. I only want to give support for the LTS versions.
Actually I have migrated my old server(running lucid) to a new one(natty) and I have hesitated a long time before reinstalling lucid or move to more recent version. But I wanted recent packages so now I am not sure I want to reinstall everything (even if it would be still possible). So I will try the given method from debian package.
I have latest packages for postfix and dovecot for Lucid on my PPA. Only Amavis is taken directly from source. So I had no reason so switch from LTS to non-LTS. But I can understand you very well; the same thoughts were the reason to prepare my own packages (and share them with others)
