Nope. Note that in any case, I do not intend to provide static libcurl builds
without the krb5 support (having shared and static builds of the same library
with different features in the same package is just silly).

I've just looked into the krb5 sources, and I noticed that it does in fact
support static builds. This can be enabled by passing --enable-static to the
configure script (I just tried it, and it seems to work, altough I didn't
actually try to use the generated libraries). The problem with this is that you
can't build both static and shared in the same build cycle (at least, not with
the krb5 version in Debian, maybe the new upstream release supports this?).
The best possible solution as far as I'm concerned, would be that someone
starts providing such krb5 static builds, either as a different source package
(in which case krb5 would have to provide a -source package, like e.g. gcc, and
the new package makes use of it and the Built-Using thingy), or as part of the
krb5 source package itself.
Now, do the krb5 maintainers think that this is actually possible? If so, are
they interested in providing such static builds?
Also CCed #439039 for reference.
