The lenny and sid packages they are including the dovecot auth module.

Just add in your auth files something like this

dovecot_plain:
  driver = dovecot
  public_name = PLAIN
  server_socket = /var/run/dovecot/auth-client
  server_set_id = $auth1

The dovecot conf doesnt require any change if I remember
