Dovecot LDA in Debian packages is a bit outdated.
In packages starting 1.0.beta5 to 1.0.beta9, LDA build is the same (from 
beginning of April I guess):

dovecot (1.0.beta5-1) unstable; urgency=low

   * New upstream version.  *Also updated dovecot-lda from CVS.*
   * debian/control.  Added build-depends on flex to prevent FTBS.

 -- Jaldhar H. Vyas <jaldhar at debian.org>  *Thu, 6 Apr 2006 16:22:46 -0400

*See 
http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/d/dovecot/dovecot_1.0.beta9-1/changelog

And as far as I tested, this version of LDA does not care about quota at 
all.
