 The software has been split into several packages, so a system administrator
 can choose what functionality to install and what to leave out.
 
+IMPORTANT:
+You MUST install one of the libsasl2-2-modules* packages for SASL to work.
+Otherwise postfix-tls won't speak TLS, Cyrus IMAPd won't ever allow any users
+to log in, and other SASL apps will malfuntion in weird ways and there will
+be even more pain and sorrow in the world (yours).
+
+SASL uses /dev/random, which can block on machines with too many connections.
+If you are going to use it on a busy machine, consider installing an entropy
+gathering card or otherwise ensuring that there are enough random numbers
+available.
+
+Use dpkg-statoverride to change the permission and the ownership of the
+saslauthd socket /var/run/saslauthd and the sasldb user database /etc/sasldb2.
