Hi Andreas,

I am going through some old cyrus-sasl2 bugs and trying to fix/close
them.  As far as the issue you reported here, is this still in need of
fixing?  I cannot find this diversion on my systems (since I have not
used cyrus-sasl2-heimdal-dbg), even the ones that I installed with Woody
ages ago and have upgraded since them.

Since the release of Wheezy has come and gone and we are on to Jessie, I
wonder if this issue affects enough systems to be worth fixing.

Regards,

-Roberto
