Updating README.Debian

So I'm doing a quick pass through README.Debian to try to get the most
obviously out of date stuff updated and I have a few questions:

Henrique: Do you still think that this statement is true?
 o Ext2 is slow on very large directories (right now), and sync medatada
   writes enabled are a huge performance hit. If you need high IO throughput
   from Cyrus, you will need to use ext3, reiserfs, xfs or something like
   that.  xfs is probably the best one.

Is the following true as well?
"However, ctl_cyrusdb -r is NOT FULLY IMPLEMENTED YET... you are on
your own to recover from corrupt databases."


Meh. I have more questions, but I have to leave in a few minutes for an
appointment. I don't know a lot of the technical stuff regarding
implementation upstream, so if someone who knows it better (*cough*
Henrique *cough*) could take a look, I'd appreciate it. I'll commit my
changes, but consider it a work in progress.
