Going back to this I realize I didn't look into this carefully enough.
libsasl-dev should not be depending on libdb2-dev, if it is then
something's fucked up, and it sounds like it's libtool.  I've heard
there is work being done to fix this obvious and blatent fuckage so
trying to come up with a way to support this is not necessary.
