Hello,

There was a custombuild bug about a week ago with regards to this, but was fixed later that day. Caused by the fact that running a perl regex on a link ignores the fact that the file is a link and creates an entire new copy of the file with the regex changes. In any case, your solution would work (I think), else deleting:
/etc/dovecot.conf
/etc/dovecot
/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf

and re-running "./build dovecot" after doing a "./build update", would also work.
