Check the upgrade instructions here:
https://cyrusimap.org/docs/cyrus-imapd/2.5.3/install-upgrade.php
'ctl_cyrusdb -r' may require support for whichever backend you were using
on the older version (on the new system), such as a legacy berkeleydb
version.

I the debian 8 / Cyrus 2.5 stuff did not want to process the cyrus 2.4
db files from debian 6.
You can say pretty words like: "may require support for whichever
backend you were using" but if all you have is access to apt-get and
you have two systems that are YEARS apart in what they have setup..
how do you do this? Tell me the apt-get install command to run so
that ctl_cyrusdb -r works or it's just words.

Since you're deploying this in a staged setup, you have the luxury of doing
your own experimentation and research.
Find out which database types you were using on the old system
(/usr/lib/cyrus/cyrus-db-types.active). You could convert them before or
after moving as discussed here:

Debian historically provides several versions of berkelydb within the apt
respository, which the cyrus 2.(4|5) packages may or may not depend on. I
can't tell you if it's a clean upgrade path, but the Debian cyrus imapd
list may be able to, or may already provide guidance within the
/usr/share/doc hierarchy.
