Ok, it builds in pbuilder, and Roberto has been doing a great job
getting lots of things into shape, so I uploaded to experimental.

Unfortunately, I had to break with the earlier version number because

$ dpkg --compare-versions "2.1.22-0.0~pre03" ">" "2.1.22-0" && echo yes
yes

Since we want to upload 2.1.22-0 to unstable when we're ready, we want
every experimental version to have a version less than that. So I made
2.1.22-0~pre01.

Also, this lintian warning needs to be taken seriously:

E: libsasl2-2: shlib-with-non-pic-code usr/lib/sasl2/libsasldb.so.2.0.22
N:
N:   The listed shared libraries contain object code that was compiled
N:   without -fPIC. All object code in shared libraries should be
N:   recompiled separately from the static libraries with the -fPIC option.

N:   Another common mistake that causes this problem is linking with gcc
N:   -Wl,-shared instead of gcc -shared.

N:   In some cases, exceptions to this rule are warranted. If this is such
N:   a case, follow the procedure outlined in Policy and then please
N:   document the exception by adding a lintian override to this package.

N:   Refer to Policy Manual, section 10.2 for details.
