Bug#653007: sasl2-bin fails to create "sasl" group which it apparently needs

[Ian Jackson]

Package: sasl2-bin
Version: 2.1.23.dfsg1-7

I installed this package (just because I wanted saslauthd) and it
failed to configure due to me not having a sasl group:

Setting up sasl2-bin (2.1.23.dfsg1-7) ...
