The problem is that the executables are named the same.  We can fix this
only by adding a sentinel file to *both* packages and testing for that file.
It must be a non-conffile.

I'd say it is worth a bug report, yes.  The fix required for both packages
is trivial.  We can either add a new sentinel file to /usr/lib/cyrus, or we
can grep for a proper version for PACKAGE_VERSION in
/usr/lib/cyrus/cyrus-hardwired-config.txt if that file is still there in
2.2.
