libsasl2-2 does contain the EXTERNAL mech, and the sasldb auxprop plugin 
(I believe).

The following common packages contain dependencies on libsasl2 but 
function just fine without having any additional authentication mechs:

postfix
libldap2/ldap-utils/slapd
mutt
subversion
asterisk

Adding additional dependencies will only add cruft to many of these 
users during their next upgrade.
