Since 2.1.24 is still in the RC stages, given that this is an ABI change, *would* it be possible to get the soname bumped before the 2.1.24 release? If not, I'll push a rebuild of openldap in Debian and coordinate with the cyrus-sasl2 maintainers to get a proper Breaks field declared for the upgrade case.

There is no cyrus-sasl 2.1.24 release. There is a release candidate, which when I tested it, had a series of serious flaws. Why anyone would add that to a distribution is beyond me. The latest release of cyrus-sasl is 2.1.23. I find it significant that after 2 years there still remains no official 2.1.24 release after the numerous issue reports that were filtered back to the project. There's been quite a bit of new work even since the 2.1.24rc1 tarball, including work corresponding to the newer IETF SASL standards (GS2, SCRAM, and channel binding), so I wouldn't be surprised to see another version bump before the next release.
