Debian has a strange terminology. They tend to use "stable" where other
people would use "obsolete".
Many of the packages in stable are substantially ancient - exim for
example is an exim 3 version despite exim4 having been around for nearly
2 years. When debian get round to releasing a new release then stable
will become less obsolete.

On a new site use 2.1.x. I don't know if debian Mailman packages are
reliable, but I tend to always build Mailman from source on the boxes
themselves - pretty much the only package I do this with.
