Hi Ondřej,

I have been using Cyrus for almost a decade, and Debian since 1994. I
run a few Cyrus servers, albeit not using all the features. I have done
Debian packaging before (for work projects not for Debian itself though)
so I know my way around a bit but I'm not completely up to speed on some
of the newer packaging features.

I'm willing to help with packaging, coding, testing, documenting, etc.
