*Usually* (i.e. we must check this), all ABI/API changes upstream does are
backwards-compatible, so you just bump the shlib soname, and be done with
it.  It causes no breakages on packages compiled against an older sasl2.

*Configuration* changes are not, however.  In fact, they have broken all
existing saslauthd setups once.  That is something we have to be careful
about, but at least it is something to be fixed inside the sasl2 package
domain, and does not leak into other packages.
