Package: dovecot-gssapi
Version: 1:2.4.1+dfsg1-2
Severity: grave
Tags: upstream
Justification: Breaks other package's autopkgtests

Issue was first observed in gsasl's autopkgtest failures.  Protocol traces are
available in #1104411.

Some (but not all) IMAP clients are unable to negotiate GSSAPI authentication
with Dovecot 2.4.1.  Earlier versions worked as expected.

The issue has been traced to a particular upstream change [1], and has been
reported on upstream's mailing list [2].

While investigating a proper fix, we can potentially revert the implicated
change, which will additionally require reverting support for SCRAM-SHA-1-PLUS
and SCRAM-SHA-256-PLUS.  These mechanisms have never been supported in a Debian
release, so this would not be a regression, and we should be able to re-enable
them once the correct fix is identified.
