It's certainly an optional dependency upstream; I use Cyrus on FreeBSD at work and don't have Zephyr or Hesiod installed. Perhaps a softer dependency like Suggests or Recommends would be more appropriate. I'm sure a large percentage of Cyrus using sites don't run Zephyr and would prefer not to install it. noah
I was using 'apt-get -t unstable install cyrus21-common...' and these guys hopped on for the ride. Me thinks that my configuration uses all the "suggests"/"recommends" as well as the "requires" dependencies.
I didn't see anything in the man apt_preferences to restrict this, so I guess I should install via dpkg...
