I think that will not be so much of a problem.  As long as we add it to
the package's long description, it will be reasonably easy to find.
Since most people looking for it will probably run 'apt-cache search
saslfinger' (or the equivalent in their favorite package management
tool), the presence of the keyword saslfinger in the description will be
sufficient.
