I think that this has to do with the overrides that are in place.

Here is what we have in the control file:

Source: cyrus-sasl2
Section: libs
Priority: important
....
ackage: libsasl2
Architecture: any
Section: oldlibs

So, maybe the priority can be adjusted, but it is in the oldlibs section
in our svn repo.  I believe that Fabian has made more than request for
the priority/section to be fixed for the sasl2 packages, since we have
the documentation as optional, but it shows up as important because of
the overrides.
