Thanks, Andreas - I think you are exactly correct. I had to ignore the 
build-depends because they conflict (bug 253894).

I checked - I have linked saslauthd against libkrb53:

ldd /usr/sbin/saslauthd
...
libkrb5.so.3 => /usr/lib/libkrb5.so.3 (0x40140000)
...

I have submitted a bug report: 257306

(I appreciate your point about the topic of debian-mentors; thank you - 
I won't make this mistake again.)
