Package: libsasl2-dev
Version: 2.1.24~rc1.dfsg1+cvs2011-05-23-2
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 8.4
According to http://packages.debian.org/sid/amd64/libsasl2-dev/filelist
the package should contain /usr/lib/libsasl2.la but the file is not
provided in the package. The result is that building other packages
dynamically linking against libsasl2 fails.

First - that's a bug on etpan side, it doesn't need to export all
libraries the library depends on, just those you need for linking
(which is only -letpan).

No, it does not. The -lsasl2 causes the linker to look for libsasl2.so
(and libsasl2.la if found, but it's not a requirement).
To prove that I have just done:
apt-get build-dep claws-mail
rm /usr/lib/*.la
cd /tmp/buildd/claws-mail-3.7.9
dpkg-buildpackage
And it works like a charm... I have also tried same thing with
upstream source and I can compile it just fine.
The linker is even smart enough that it adds needed libraries even in
case you link the binary only with -letpan (without all the jingles).
Also the libetpan-dev library itself doesn't include .la files.

There's no bug on cyrus-sasl2 side, the claws-mail can be compiled OK
without any .la file on the system. Your libtool or another part of
the build chain must be broken.
Or just try doing make distclean; autoreconf -fi; and try building the
claws-mail again.
