No need for svn-buildpackage (I didn't have the time yet to learn how to
use it either). Here's what's needed:

MYTMPDIR=<some-to-be-created-directory>
svn export https://mail.incase.de/svn/cyrus22/tags/2.2.12-x $MYTMPDIR
cd $MYTMPDIR
dpkg-source  -x cyrus22-imapd_2.2.12-0.4.dsc
cd cyrus22-imapd-2.2.12
dpkg-buildpackage -tc -sa -k<yourGPGkey> -rfakeroot

Should do the trick. At least it does for me.

I also updated the packages and source available at
http://mail.incase.de/cyrus22/i386/ (resp.
http://mail.incase.de/cyrus22/amd64 for x86_64 users). And I made a
release on alioth (without news this time, the changes vs 0.3 are just
too small to be worth a news entry).

Do you think an announcement would make sense somewhere once it is accepted?

Yes, it's /usr/lib/cyrus/cyrus-db-types.(active|txt) and it's checked in
/etc/init.d/cyrus21 (and I took that mechanism over to cyrus22). I will
probably do another upgrade test installation early next week. Will
create an appropriate upgrade script if I can figure out how to do it.
Only problem is: Do I want to run that script in /etc/init.d/cyrus22 or
in postinst?
