Here's how I do it (it's not the only way):
mkdir newdir
cd olddir
find . -depth -print | cpio -pdmv newdir
This should replicate the whole tree with permissions and symlinks
intact. You have to do it as root, of course, to get ownweships to
replicate.

Robert,
Qmail and uscpi are available only as source packages in debian so you
will have to compile and build .deb files locally. Alternately, if
you just compile the original source and install in /usr/local, you
will have to make a fake package for mail-transport-agent to keep
dpkg/dselect/apt
the moment.
