IIRC, this strangeness is required so that it is possible to install heimdal-multidev and krb5-multidev at the same time, and have /usr/bin/krb5-config.heimdal guaranteed to find the correct Heimdal libraries. e.g. for build depends when you want to build two versions for the two Kerberos implementations. That explains the -L parameter. I can't think of any reason why we need rpath set however. Which doesn't mean reasons don't exist... Patches to fix this welcome! -- Brian May <b...@debian.org>
