that will take you all the way down to 0.99.14.  I recommend using the 
version of 1.0alpha3 from testing instead until this gets sorted out.

Btw, this is the problem.  -2.0.1 was a non-maintainer upload to get 
dovecot depending on openssl 0.9.8.  Apparently the openssl maintainer has 
compiled 0.9.8 in such a way that the engines are plugins.  dovecots login 
process chroots and the plugins are not available in the chroot so you get 
that error message.

Most likely the fix will be to have openssl link everything in statically. 
Then dovecot will magically start working again.
