You are seems ok to me.

If you pronounce the . (dot) then it's "a dot htpasswd" and if not it's
"an htpasswd", so I bet it's a matter of tastes no?

Would that mean Exim too? Because DTC is NOT compatible yet with Exim
unfortunatly...

Not really. Cyrus would be more a "MDA" (mail delivery agent). The term
MTA (mail transfer agent) is most of the time used for a SMTP server,
and Cyrus sill needs Postfix to run...

Maybe not at then end. That might be a mistake. Cyrus does delivery,
custom storage solution of mail, IMAP and POP3 server.

These modifications look ok to me.

remove them if you wish then !

There will be multiple vhosts, but when using NAT, then only one IP can
be used, which is the IP of the server on the LAN. So there is no
separator of any kind in this case.
There can be multiple ips, but that is to be configured with the web
interface of the panel, later.

Ok!

Yes, it's asked by open SSL when generating the cert.

That's what have been done already, yes. See php-crypt-cbc in the
ftp-masters waiting list. I hope it will soon be uploaded to SID. I
think this debconf entry is obsolete and should be removed. Please
ignore this one.

What if you are a newbie and don't now what to type? To me it's obvious
that a default HAS to be there, but that default value CAN be discussed
(if you think some servers are better than others, please tell).

Yes, that's correct.
Should I wait for a new .diff file before sending that one to my CVS repo?
