Sorry my subject is a bit misleading ;-)
As I updated today to wheezy anyway I built dovecot again with the 
following options:
<<
./configure --prefix=/usr/local --localstatedir=/usr/local/var 
--with-mysql --with-sql
make && make install

but as well with those after starting dovecot and postfix the errors of 
the lda looking in /var/run occured again.

Yes I had the version from apt as well, but removed it today after 
upgrading to wheezy. The lda is called from postfix by these lines in 
master.cf
<<
dovecot unix    -       n       n       -       -       pipe
  flags=DRhu user=vmail:vmail argv=/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver -f 
${sender} -d ${user}@${nexthop}

so according to the path prefix it should be the correct copy of 
deliver. Is there a switch to get the version from deliver? I tried the 
usual -v and --version but no success. But even without the version I'm 
99.99873% sure that the correct binary is used :-)
