Jan, thanks for your report and sorry that you had this trouble when
upgrading.

However, I can't reproduce the bug on a cleanly installed etch system.
Perhaps you had some incompatible setup left from the sarge version?
Having the following contents in /etc/postfix/sasl/smtpd.conf does
activate saslauthd password checking:

        pwcheck_method: saslauthd

Could you check the following:

      * Do you really mean smtp.conf and not smtpd.conf? (The former
        being for this server to authenticate against another server,
        the latter being for a client to authenticate against this
        server.)
      * Do you run some (or all) postfix servers chrooted? (Look at the
        fifth column in /etc/postfix/master.cf for each service.)
      * What version of saslauthd?
      * What version of postfix?
      * Any special options set in /etc/default/saslauthd? (You can
        attach the whole file if you want.)

Thanks for your debugging efforts!
