Say no more.

I made a small mistake in the current package -- I made it provide
libsasl2-gssapi-mit. I forgot that virtual packages have to be agreed
upon beforehand. So that Provides has to be removed. I'll take care of
it.

I'll also take care of versioning the Conflicts and Replaces, and adding
a Conflicts: libsasl2-gssapi-mit to libsasl2-2.

Sam, do you have time to change libsasl2-gssapi-mit into a dummy package
that depends on libsasl2-modules-gssapi-mit? Or would you prefer me to
do it?

Sorry for the trouble,
