Those are my packages. I try to track each release, and bug fixed.

But since those are mine, I'm really concerned with stability as it  
affects my enviroment. Mainly mdbox/maildir with gzip, at this present  
time.

If someone lets me know of any issues, I will fix and adjust for it,  
but I'm not doing full scale stability testing. It's just the straight  
ubuntu package, with it swapped out for 2.2.24+fixes, and other  
adjustments as needed.

I do consider them stable enough for other people to use, but again,  
your at my mercy. (But these are what I use on my production systems so)

As far as the init scripts goes, it's the same as what the dovecot  
packages as shipped by ubuntu for 16.04 does it. I have not looked  
into it much myself yet, other than it functions. I only have one  
16.04 dovecot system currently.
