I'm sure there is a "proper" directory to do this in, but I normally
make a subdir in /tmp.
edit /etc/apt/sources.list so that your deb-src lines say unstable
instead of stable
apt-get update
apt-get build-dep postfix
apt-get -b source postfix
If everything goes well, you will have bunch of files like
postfix_2.0.18-1_i386.deb. Pick the ones you are already using
under 1.0 (it should be pretty obvious if you are using
mypostfix_2.0.18-1_i386.debsql etc) and install them like this:
dpkg -i
Couldn't be much easier. I can't believe I stuck with Redhat for so
long.
