I have just uploaded new db-defaults to experimental, which will have new
db-upgrade-util meta package pulling old versions of dbX.Y-util from
to-be-oldstable.

As soon as this the new upload is allowed be release managers (I want to update
active version of dbX.Y to db5.3), I will modify cyrus-imapd-2.4 to
depend on this.

I'll leave this bug open meanwhile to not forget.

Thanks for pointing this out. I thought it would be ok to fail, but
with the time
difference I think you are right.
