We have that patch[1] in Ubuntu, and also DEP8 tests that use autofs with kerberos and sasl authentication mechanisms[2] (and patches for problems in that area: autofs 5.1.8 was a bit disruptive). Note these tests require a VM, like the other existing DEP8 tests, but I can prepare a PR for this new one if the maintainer is willing to consider it.
