These patches look simple enough to include them for lenny.

The comment is a bit misleading because it is (as i understand) in fact 
the fix for this bug. From Authen::SASL(3pm):

Actually, this should be applied to libnet-xmpp-perl where the authentication
handling happens.

sendxmpp is a nice tool to easily send messages from scripts or
commandline  and i'm not aware of a good alternative in debian.
If no one objects i would prepare a nmu and reassign 427162 to
libnet-xmpp-perl.
