Please trim your descriptions such that the full description is only
available in ONE (1) package. Currently you have the following in each binary,

Description: Cyrus mail system (IMAP support)
 Cyrus is a fully-featured IMAP daemon, with a number of features not
 found in other IMAP implementations, including:
  o Designed to handle massive quantities of mail
  o No need for users to have login accounts
  o Support for POP3 in addition to IMAP
  o Sieve server-side email filtering
  o Servers don't run as root
  o Easy support for mail quotas
  o SSL support, including secure IMAP
  o DRAC support for pop/imap-before-smtp
  o IPv6 support
 For more information, see
 http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/.
 .
 Note: Cyrus doesn't support reading from and
 storing mail in your
 standard mail spool - it stores mail in a
 separate directory in its
 own MH-like format.
 .


Which is excessive and prevents easy searching of the package archive
with things like `apt-cache search`. For example, 

# apt-cache search imap ipv6
cyrus21-admin - Cyrus mail system (administration tool)
cyrus21-common - Cyrus mail system (common files)
cyrus21-dev - Cyrus mail system (developer files)
cyrus21-doc - Cyrus mail system (documentation files)
cyrus21-imapd - Cyrus mail system (IMAP support)
cyrus21-murder - Cyrus mail system (proxies and aggregator)
libcyrus-imap-perl21 - Interface to Cyrus imap client imclient library

Since IMAP is the main part of the cyrus daemon, the full description
should probably reside in cyrus21-imapd only with other cyrus21 binaries
having a brief description.
