+    Some versions of the cyrus-imapd packages, with versions 1.5.19-9.10
+    up to 1.5.19-20 (shipped in Debian Sarge 3.1r1) will entirely erase
+    the mail spool when purged with no questions asked.
+
+    You must NOT purge these packages before moving /var/lib/cyrus and
+    /var/spool/cyrus to somewhere safe.  Failure to do so will cause data
+    loss.

+    The cyrus-imapd packages in Woody (1.5.19-9.2) are safe, as well as
+    the fixed cyrus-imapd packages 1.5.19-20.1 which should make it to
+    Debian Sarge 3.1r2.
