I usually go with the technical approach for recommends and suggests. In
this case, that would mean:

(on cyrus22-common)
Recommends: cyrus22-imapd | cyrus22-pop3d | cyrus22=ADmurder | cyrus22-nn=
tpd | cyrus22-admin

With maybe a:
Suggests: cyrus22-imapd, cyrus22-pop3d, cyrus22=ADmurder, cyrus22-nntpd

Those two make any sane frontends group the packages very nicely indeed, =
and
suggest the whole suite at first install...

I don't care much for the social approach for recommends (i.e. "this is m=
ore
likely to be what the user wants to do")...
