severity 743013 serious

This bug is a violation of a "must" in Debian policy and consequently severe. Quoting:

"The init.d scripts must ensure that they will behave sensibly (i.e., returning success and not starting multiple copies of a service) if invoked with start when the service is already running, or with stop when it isn't, and that they don't kill unfortunately-named user processes. The best way to achieve this is usually to use start-stop-daemon with the --oknodo option."

As a consequence of this bug, release 1.0.1.g-2 of Debian openssl which restarts services that are affected by the Heartbleed bug (http://heartbleed.com/) will not restart Cyrus. The old Cyrus process will be left running, potentially a source of a serious security compromise.
