Package: sasl2-bin
Version: 2.1.26.dfsg1-13
Severity: wishlist

If you're using the "ldap" MECHANISM, there are a bunch of configuration
variables that need to be put in /etc/saslauthd.conf. By default there
is no documentation for these values installed in the package, so one has
to go online and search for the possible values.

The risk of trying to find one online is that it may no correspond to the
version that is installed, so some configuration items may be retired, and
newer ones could have been added.

It would be nice if the "LDAP_SASLAUTHD" file was included in the package
so that it's readily available:
