I've just newly put Debian Stable on a machine.  Stable does have 
1.2.15, as you say.  I've enabled squeeeze-backports, which also 
allows me to install 2.1.7 (dovecot-core 2.1.7-7~bpo50+1, as I write).

(I've not installed either yet, still checking how to bring the 
real-user maildirs across from 1.0.15 without losing the metadata, so 
that all the clients (meaning the human ones) don't have a shock at 
seeing xx,000 'new' mails.  Recently discussed on the list, so plenty 
of advice.)
