To answer the "why" question: At the start of this project, I didn't
want to accidentally carry over packaging mistakes (known or otherwise)
from the old cyrus-sasl2 package. Also, I wanted the package to be
similar to the cyrus-imapd package and I wanted to use dpatch (to make
it practically easy for cyrus-imapd maintainers to work on the package).
Finally, I wanted to make sure the team would know the package well and
take responsible ownership of it. So I decided to start from scratch and
then pick good bits from the old package. The package names were chosen
with the help of the library packaging guide without much consideration
of the old names. At the time (January this year) there were no
objections -- apparently it didn't stand out as such a critical issue.

Would your objection stand if we were further away from releasing?

Anyway, we'll of course follow your advice and rename the packages
(thanks to Andreas M. for working out the details) -- but I hope you
understand the reasons for wanting to do things right and according to
available documentation.
