Note that this did work in an earlier version.  It stopped working as of
this commit:

r332 | fabbe | 2008-03-18 13:07:40 -0400 (Tue, 18 Mar 2008) | 1 line
Changed paths:
   M /cyrus-sasl-2.1/trunk/debian/changelog
   D /cyrus-sasl-2.1/trunk/debian/patches/0015_saslutil_decode64_fix.dpatch
   M /cyrus-sasl-2.1/trunk/debian/patches/00list

Drop the 0015_saslutil_decode64_fix.dpatch patch, disallowing trailing CR/LF/CRLF in base64 data.

Regards,

-Roberto
