Bug#528238: cyrus-sasl2 needlessly links against libkrb5support0 complicating transitions

Package: cyrus-sasl2
Version: 2.1.22.dfsg1-25
Severity: normal

Hi.  There is a configure test to link against libkrb5support0 even
though the distribution uses none of the symbols from that library.
This creates a dependency between libsasl2-modules-gssapi-mit and
libkrb5support0.  Unfortunately, that brings cyrus-sasl2 needlessly
into the krb5 transition, making it harder for both packages to enter
testing.  This library linking can be removed; the shared library
loader will pull in libkrb5support0 if needed.
