We downloaded the ubuntu dovecot source package from packages.ubuntu.com
and updated the dovecot tarball to a current 2.x version using the
uupdate tool (comes with ubuntu).

Then we replaced the pigeonhole directory with a current
version from the pigeonhole tarball to fix some crashing
bug regarding managesieve.

With dch -i you can edit the changelog and increase
package version or patchlevel.

Finally build the deb packages with
dpkg-buildpackage -b -uc -us

Good luck,
Daniel
