The correct fix for #601977 is for cyrus-sasl2-mit-dbg and cyrus-sasl2-heimdal-dbg to Replaces: cyrus-sasl2-dbg. Neither Pre-depends nor Conflicts, nor adding more Depends are going to fix it. > Basically, the dependency from cyrus-sasl2-dbg is on > "cyrus-sasl2-mit-dbg | cyrus-sasl2-heimdal-dbg", while the two specific > -dbg packages depend on the main package.

In that case cyrus-sasl2-dbg should have been called cyrus-sasl2-common-dbg and not depend on anything.
