libtool: install: warning: `sieve/libcyrus_sieve.la' has not been installed in `/usr/cyrus-future/lib'
libtool: install: warning: `lib/libcyrus.la' has not been installed in `/usr/cyrus-future/lib'
libtool: install: warning: `lib/libcyrus_min.la' has not been installed in `/usr/cyrus-future/lib'
libtool: install: /usr/bin/install -c sieve/.libs/sievec /usr/src/cyrus-future-build/cyrus/debian/cyrus-future/usr/cyrus-future/bin/sievec

but that's only a warning :)
