I remember struggling mightily with libsasl a while back because I had
no -modules package installed (only finding out after many hours of
trying to cause dents in my desk with my forehead).  However, the
requirement for having a -modules is clearly documented in the
README.Debian.  I would wager that the vast majority of the people who
know enough about system administration to setup a case where they
absolutely positively need a -modules package to have their setup be
useful, also know enough to go looking for the README.Debian.

So, in short, I agree that we can safely make it optional.

Regards,
