I added some basic information to the FAQ in the "Questions about

It doesn't fully answer your question, but it's a start.
Thanks; that's definitely a start. Are the names, type, number of cyrus
db options a compile time or run time (imapd.conf) configuration option?
In particular, my existing debian cyrus 2.1.16 install includes no
mention of anything database related in the imapd.conf file and the set
of databases only has a minimal intersection with the set that has been
mentioned by, e.g., Dan White:
------------------------------------------------
www:cyrus# pwd
/var/lib/cyrus
www:cyrus# ls
db db.backup2 log msg quota tls_sessions.db
db.backup1 deliver.db mailboxes.db proc socket user
------------------------------------------------
Apparently the debian cyrus packages have been held back by the lack of
a good system for upgrading existing cyrus installs. Since this really
just means updating the db files, this is an impossibility without a
very clear roadmap describing db files for at least the N versions of
cyrus that were packaged for debian. It's fairly clear to me that the
upgrade script RedHat uses won't work for at least the debian version of
cyrus I've been using.
