Bug#532556: cyrus-sasl2: "you must install some of the modules" -> Depends

[Steve Langasek]

Package: libsasl2-2
Version: 2.1.23.dfsg1-1

Hi folks,

The libsasl2-2 package states quite explicitly that:

   If you intend to use this package on a server that provides SASL
   authentication, then you must install some of the libsasl2-modules*
   packages.

This suggests that the modules should actually be dependencies of the
package rather than merely recommends, which is what the Ubuntu package
currently does as a result.  Here is a patch that implements this:

  This is the Cyrus SASL API implementation, version 2.1.


If you disagree that this is the right thing to do, perhaps you can indicate
why so that we can remove this delta from the Ubuntu package as well?

Thanks,
