I guess the part I don't understand is why this needs to be done every 
time the process is stopped/started.  Presumably because someone might 
have changed the db type in /etc/imapd.conf?

On older Debian/Ubuntu systems, the export/import thing would be handled 
by a /etc/init.d/cyrus script.  For Upstart based systems, it would 
presumably be shoehorned into /etc/init/cyrus.conf somehow; or even 
would be an event trigger for the cyrus process.

How would it make sense to put this in /etc/default/cyrus-imapd, unless 
you mean putting the db types/files here, which makes perfect sense.
