Found another thing broken in the rules file :
        for i in master reconstruct quota deliver ; do \

                ln -s $(TMPPKG)/usr/sbin/cyrus $(TMPPKG)/usr/sbin/cyr$$i ;\

        done

        for i in mbpath ctl_mboxlist ctl_deliver ctl_cyrusdb squatter \

                 tls_prune ipurge cyrdump cvt_cyrusdb chk_cyrus arbitron \

                 cyr_expire unexpunge sync_client sync_reset cyr_synclog \

                 cyr_dbtool cyr_df cyrus-makedirs ; do \

                ln -s $(TMPPKG)/usr/sbin/cyrus $(TMPPKG)/usr/sbin/$$i ;\

        done

This will create broken symlinks with the build path hardcoded in the link :

# ls -l cyrdeliver
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 82 2010-12-20 20:49 cyrdeliver ->
/var/lib/hudson/jobs/cyrus-2.4-debian-officiel/workspace/debian/tmp/usr/sbin/cyrus

For example.
