Bug#515534: /usr/sbin/saslauthd: /etc/init.d/saslauthd does not handle old defaults correctly

[Ben Hutchings]

Package: sasl2-bin
Version: 2.1.22.dfsg1-23
Severity: important
File: /usr/sbin/saslauthd

On upgrading to lenny, I found that saslauthd would no longer start.
Although README.Debian describes *optional* configuration of multiple
instances, the init script makes this configuration mandatory even if
only a single instance is required.  If OPTIONS is not set then it
should assume that saslauthd's socket and state will appear in the
default directory (/var/run/saslauthd), but instead it fails.  Also,
it should not warn that NAME is set if only a single instance is
configured.

Ben.
