Presumably the only way to find out what these are is to build the
binary package and install it?  The utility naming thing is really
another upstream problem, although I haven't seen a single cyrus utility
discussed that wasn't already prefaced with cyr_

A while back I committed to submitting all the bugs in debian patches I
could confirm to the cyrus bugzilla.  Now, with 2.4 scheduled to come
out in less than 2 weeks it seems like it hardly worth it.  I think what
I'm going to do in the next couple of days is download the 2.4 source
and only submit the bugs which are still in the 2.4 source code.
