sieve uses the duplicate_db only for vacation and forward-loop detection.
Deleting/not migration duplicate_db will only result in vacation beeing send
out in reaction to an email even if the sender has recieved a vacation  
message recently. And in case of a forward-loop that am email will be  
forwarded.

But you can dump the duplicate_db on the old system and import them on  
the new.
Have a look at cvt_cyrusdb.

IMHO you should recompile the scripts. Use tools/masssievec
