In my case it was more like s/2.1/22/g ;-) As in cyrus22-common vs.
cyrus-common-2.2

The init script already checks wether they are in place or not and moans
if they aren't (tells you to install them again). I was however unable
to find instructions of _how_ to install them.

Should we document the necessary overrides in README.Debian or should be
provide a script which checks them and creates them if necessary? At
least one of these should probably be done.
