Umm, that reference is *really* old.....

On Debian Stable, woody with exim 3
</quote>
Woody was Debian 3.0, with end of support 2006 and I don't even remember
using exim before exim4.
This is from Debian current 7.5 Stable:
# apt-cache search dovecot
ciderwebmail - IMAP webmail service
dovecot-common - Transitional package for dovecot

mdbox mailboxes

dovecot-dev - header files for the dovecot mail server
dovecot-gssapi - GSSAPI authentication support for Dovecot
dovecot-imapd - secure IMAP server that supports mbox, maildir, dbox and
mdbox mailboxes
dovecot-ldap - LDAP support for Dovecot
dovecot-lmtpd - secure LMTP server for Dovecot
dovecot-managesieved - secure ManageSieve server for Dovecot
dovecot-mysql - MySQL support for Dovecot

And this from old-stable:
# apt-cache search dovecot
dovecot-common - secure mail server that supports mbox and maildir mailboxes
dovecot-dbg - debug symbols for Dovecot
dovecot-dev - header files for the dovecot mail server
dovecot-imapd - secure IMAP server that supports mbox and maildir mailboxes

mysqmail-dovecot-logger - real-time logging system in MySQL - Dovecot
traffic-logger
phamm - PHP front-end to manage virtual services on LDAP - main package

I've got the following installed on my mail server (old-stable), there
were no special tricks -- except for some local configuration
adjustments I wanted to make:
# dpkg-query -l|grep dovec
ii dovecot-common 1:1.2.15-7 secure
mail server that supports mbox and maildir mailboxes
ii dovecot-imapd 1:1.2.15-7 secure
IMAP server that supports mbox and maildir mailboxes
ii dovecot-pop3d 1:1.2.15-7 secure
POP3 server that supports mbox and maildir mailboxes
Cheers
