That's why I asked ;-)

here it was mentioned that 2.3 gets security patches:

https://dovecot.org/mailman3/archives/list/dovecot@dovecot.org/thread/3P45L76DOC3NKUNSSPIXQNKINGOCYH5K/

I don't know if the 2.3 repositories for Debian will be maintained
also, 
but I assume so.

The upgrade to 2.4 is planned here, but the config changes are quite 
drastic as far as I see. Until I figured out how to convert all the 
sieve- and imapsieve-parameters I will stay on 2.3. Yes, I read the 
docs, sure, but without some kind of secondary test-clone this looks
too 
risky for me right now. I prepare the new config in a test VM and work 
my way through it until dovecot doesn't complain anymore.

I assume the 2.3 repos will live for a few months from now, I will be 
ready to upgrade sooner ;-)
