sympa ldap_force_canonical_email parameter unknown

[JHF2442]

Parameter ldap_force_canonical_email is unknown in /etc/sympa/wwsympa.conf

This parameter was dropped in recent sympa versions.

see also http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=638320

this is sympa 6.1.7~dfsg-2 on precise (12.04 LTS)

is causes the sympa process not to start

[Update -- SRU candidate]
[Impact]
The sympa package won't install on a freshly installed LTS release.

[Test Case]
Install a fresh Precise 12.04 LTS.
sudo apt-get install sympa

[Regression Potential]
That would mean backporting a change from upstream.
Any regression it could bring can't be worst than the package not installing at all.
