Logically, I like the idea of including saslfinger in the sasl2-bin
package.  However, in principle I do not like the idea of mixing things
from different sources in the same package.  Of course, it is just a
bash script (meaning no disrespect, Patrick, I speak from the
perspective of release engineering/management) so I am tending to think
that including it in an existing is package is both easier and more
sensible than creating an entirely new package.
