After a quick look at the packages it seems that:
* the description of libauthen-simple-perl should be adjusted (either
  shortened or extended to all possible Authen::Simple adapters)
* the "depends:" should list libauthen-simple-FOO-perl |
  libauthen-simple-BAR-perl | ... (or "suggests:"? "recommends:"?)
  I'd go for "recommends:" because the other packages are not
  thecnically necessary but libauthen-simple-perl is useless without
  them
* currently we have 5 adapters in the svn repository:
  libauthen-simple-http-perl, libauthen-simple-pam-perl, 
  libauthen-simple-kerberos-perl, libauthen-simple-passwd-perl, 
  libauthen-simple-smb-perl
* one of them (libauthen-simple-kerberos-perl) is not uploaded to the
  archive

For the time being I've changed the long description and added the
Recommends: field in svn.
  
Any thoughts?

Cheers,
gregor
