I think that's doable.  There are Debian policy limitations (for good reason 
in my view) on what one package (Postfix in this case) can do to another (Cyrus 
SASL).  I need to look at the user situation a bit more closely.  There's 
about a quarter century of inertia behind the current situation (hard to 
believe Postfix has been around that long) and I don't want to accidentally 
break something.
