I'd be interested to know if anyone has a recommendation on how to
handle this. The two packages in question are -dbg packages that are
created by dh_strip, excerpted from debian/rules below:

dh_strip -s -psasl2-bin -plibsasl2-2 -plibsasl2-modules -plibsasl2-modules-ldap -plibsasl2-modules-otp -plibsasl2-modules-sql -plibsasl2-modules-gssapi-mit -plibsasl2-dev -Nlibsasl2-modules-gssapi-heimdal --dbg-package=cyrus-sasl2-dbg
dh_strip -s -plibsasl2-modules-gssapi-heimdal -Nsasl2-bin -Nlibsasl2-2 -Nlibsasl2-modules -Nlibsasl2-modules-ldap -Nlibsasl2-modules-otp -Nlibsasl2-modules-sql -Nlibsasl2-modules-gssapi-mit -Nlibsasl2-dev --dbg-package=cyrus-sasl2-heimdal-dbg

Both packages need to be able to be installed together, so my question
centers around whehter it is OK to put a diversion in place so that
cyrus-sasl2-heimdal-dbg diverts the file. What does everyone think?
