The others have already told you about building from git.

You have also to keep good backups of the old data, 2.4 is *very* new,
and upstream is still finding and fixing issues related to the upgrade
path.  It has some serious potential for headaches, we'd never upload it
to unstable right now even if the packaging was already good (and we
were not in a freeze).   It still needs a month or two of upstream
bugfixing.

Note: this doesn't apply for new installs, or migrations over IMAP
(instead of in-place).

I can't say much about replication, 2.4 fixes some serious limitations
from 2.3, but on the other hand that's a lot of refactored and new
code...  but for single systems, it should be damn good already.
