Bug#687675: libsasl2 conflicts with libsasl2-2

Package: libsasl2-2
Version: 2.1.25.dfsg1-5
Severity: minor

Somehow in my upgrade path I had an old copy of libsasl2 in my system,
which provides /usr/lib/libsasl2.so.2.  Being as that is checked before
/usr/lib/$ARCH/libsasl2.so.2, it was causing erratic behavior in
anything requiring libsasl2-2.

Simply removing libsasl2 fixes the problem.

Given it's an obsolete package, perhaps have 2-2 Conflict or Replace it?
