    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.
