I have my Ubuntu server setup with Webmin. (It is a web interface to manage a server) in that, I have it set to notify me of updates, but not to do any updating. After I did the manual downgrade of saslauthd, weeks ago, I have not had a problem of it auto updating everyweek. I just go in with Webmin, select everyting but sasl*, and install patches. No problems with it breaking each week, but it is a pain to have to manualy monitor it so it doesn't get the current (but messed up) sasl.
