Cyrus refused to restart until I made the changes indicated in the
earlier message.  As shown further down in my earlier message, I got

# invoke-rc.d cyrus2.2 restart
Stopping Cyrus IMAPd: cyrmaster.
Waiting for complete shutdown....
Starting Cyrus IMAPd: /etc/init.d/cyrus2.2: You are missing a
dpkg-statoverride on /var/run/cyrus.  Add it.
invoke-rc.d: initscript cyrus2.2, action "restart" failed.

I think that was triggered by this section of the init script:
	dir=`dpkg-statoverride --list /var/run/cyrus` \
		|| missingstatoverride /var/run/cyrus
