debian/rules.  You know my stand on not modifying the build tree on
debian/rules... (which is that one should modify it to his heart's content).

If doing such modifications leaves any of you guys with a bad taste, we can
change the packaging to work like this:

  .orig.tar.gz: Debian made tarball with
     upstream/cyrus-imapd-2.2.14.tar.gz/bz2 (original tarball)
  .diff.gz
     debian/*

But I'd prefer to just keep what we have, and fix the entire tree on
debian/rules even if that means we need to run autotools at build time (and
not clean time).
