Since lenny is done, it seems reasonable to be targeting this version 
for squeeze anyway?  I've become an Ubuntu user/administrator and 
haven't kept up much with debian releases lately.  The system I've been 
working with (lucid server 10.04) uses libdb4.8 (4.8.24), and I don't 
plan to try and make the eventual Ubuntu packages available for earlier 
releases, although jaunty (9.04) has libdb4.7 (4.7.25).  I'd rather put 
the time into creating a cyrus-postfix metapackage which will make it 
easy to set up a decent secure email system on a standalone server (with 
local and virtual user accounts).
