I think that's correct, but I don't know for sure how to check the type.
The conversed machines are working fine.

The file /usr/lib/cyrus/cyrus-db-types.active of the old systems says:
DBENGINE BerkeleyDB3.2
DUPLICATE db3_nosync
MBOX skiplist
SEEN skiplist
SUBS flat
TLS db3_nosync

The file cyrus-db-types.txt is the same.

The new systems are working fine, and this is the cyrus-db-types.active:
ANNOTATION skiplist
DBENGINE BerkeleyDB4.2
DUPLICATE berkeley-nosync
MBOX skiplist
PTS berkeley
QUOTA quotalegacy
SEEN skiplist
SUBS flat
TLS berkeley-nosync

No, I did nothing special, and I did not found anything like that in my
imapd.conf.

Some of the systems did use Cyrus 1.5 before. The conversion was
difficult I can remember. But the file cyrus-db-types.active is the same
as the other old systems.

And I used everywhere Debian-packages.
