For one the package list state this file should be included. This is
obviously an error given the fact that the file was never intended to
be in the package.

The failing part:
I am trying to build an application - claws-mail - from source.
Claws-mail depends on libetpan which adds these parameters to gcc:

$ libetpan-config --libs
-L/usr/lib -letpan -pthread -lcurl -lexpat -lgnutls -ldb-5.1 -llockfile
-lsasl2

As you can see libetpan adds -lsasl2 to gcc which causes ld (and
libtool) to look for the file libsasl2.la which cannot be found any
more.

libtool: link: cannot find the library `/usr/lib/libsasl2.la' or
unhandled argument `/usr/lib/libsasl2.la'
