dovecot-2.4.2 pigeonhole make check failure

Running make check for pigeonhole-2.4.2 fails:

$ ./configure --with-dovecot=../dovecot-2.4.2 --with-managesieve
&& make
&& make check [...] make[2]: Leaving directory '/tmp/dovecot/dovecot-pigeonhole-2.4.2/doc' make[1]: Leaving directory '/tmp/dovecot/dovecot-pigeonhole-2.4.2/doc' /bin/sh ./update-version.sh . . testsuite: Fatal: execv(/usr/local/bin/doveconf) failed: No such file or directory make: *** [Makefile:1261: tests/testsuite.svtest] Error 84

This seems to be the result of commit 8b9295d.

Do we now require a dovecot installation (or at least a working doveconf binary) for running tests for pigeonhole or is there a workaround I am missing?

Thank you
