Package: heimdal Version: 7.8.git20221117.28daf24+dfsg-5 Severity: normal Dear Maintaner,
please add support for include and includedir directives in krb5.conf to heimdal. This has been committed upstream already[1], and is supported by MIT Kerberos. Missing this feature is preventing closing a kerberos-configs[2] bug, because since krb5.conf is shared between heimdal and MIT kerberos, both need to support these inclusion directives. The upstream commit[1] landed in 2017, but is not yet part of any heimdal release, and it's unclear when such new release will happen. The patch applies without changes to the current version in debian unstable. I understand adding it adds risk to the package in Debian, but not having it is also preventing other packages from moving forward. 1. https://github.com/heimdal/heimdal/commit/fe43be85587f834266623adb0ecf2793d212a7ca 2. https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=858970
