The name "cyrreconstruct" was introduced by the Debian packages. From
the README.Debian file:

-------------
The Debian packaging of Cyrus has a few quirks which are important to know
about:

1. Renaming of some Cyrus IMAP utilities

   The quota, reconstruct, master and deliver utilities have been renamed to
   cyrquota, cyrreconstruct, cyrmaster and cyrdeliver, following the template
   set by upstream with "cyradm".  This was done because both Cyrus Debian
   maintainers found the original names to be too generic and likely to cause
   namespace collisions later.

   Since documentation may refer to these utilities using their original
   name, you must be aware of this fact.  Also, installsieve is deprecated
   and not included in the Debian package; use sieveshell instead.
