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.
