Sounds great. And I would even dare to make such change in Debian for
2.4 if we can agree on name (cit as a shortcut for cyrus-imap-tool or
just cyrus would be ok with me as well).

I would prepare compatibility commands for squeeze+1 which would print
"use cit <command> this command will be deprecated in next release"
and for squeeze+2 we will drop those command entirely (hopefully we'll
be in sync with upstream by that time).

Jeroen, do you have alioth account, so I could add you to the project
(and give you access to our new git)?
