I'm a bit green around the gills with this kind of thing.
I download the original source at
http://packages.ubuntu.com/source/precise/mail/dovecot
And the Pigeonhole source at http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/download.html
This is where I got stuck really - I wasn't sure how to integrate the
pigeonhole source into the dovecot source.

Do you know if anyone has had any success getting a Dovecot 2
package on this Ubuntu distro and how they went about it (Not
comfortable compiling sources at this point!!)?
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
