Hello,
cyrus-sasl2-mit and cyrus-sasl2 are different source packages. However
cyrus-sasl2 2.1.22 (in experimental) builds
libsasl2-modules-gssapi-mit to replace libsasl2-gssapi-mit built from
the cyrus-sasl2-mit package.

However afaict there is currently no package replacing
----------------------------
Package: libsasl2-krb4-mit (2.1.19.dfsg1-1)
Kerberos4 module for SASL using MIT Kerberos

This is the Cyrus SASL API implementation, version 2. See package
libsasl2 and RFC 2222 for more information.

This package provides the Kerberos4 module compiled against the MIT
implementation of Kerberos. 
----------------------------
in the *new* cyrus-sasl.

I have no idea whether it should be done or whether Kerberos4 is dead
and intentionally unsupported in the new sasl.
