well, you should rather justify why this package is needed for the core
system instead of shipping it in your click ;)

why would the rootfs itself need SASL at all etc ...

generally it is expected that you ship all additional libs your app
needs in the library path of the click (see [1] about the automatically
set paths and directories in a click) or that you just produce a static
binary. the size of the core rootfs tarball is limited by the size of
the cache partition so each addition to teh rootfs comes at a cost and
will need a very convincing reason why *everyone* would benefit from
this addition.
