Yes, that might be a good idea. Of course, we keep "master" reserved so that
cyrus/master is masters' own ID. cyrus/idled, cyrus/timsieved, cyrus/imaps,
cyrus/imap, cyrus/ctl_deliver... sounds quite nice, and tidy. I like it.

Now, that is not that a good idea, IMHO.  It is best if both distributions
and upstream have their packages logging the same thing for a given version.

I need to take a look on what Cyrus IMAPd logs, and when (for logcheck
ignore rules -- I can't have that thing going bonkers over master's
verbosity by default). I should have at least one more RFC on this syslog
business in a few weeks.
