GSSAPI is entirely optional (but it's very nice for people who already
have a kerberos infrastucture), so it seems reasonable to add the option
for rsyslog.  Perhaps it might be added as an 'rsyslog-gssapi' sub
package.

A separate package would probably be necessary, to not drag in any dependency on libkrb53.

Attached is a first stab at a patch.   The patch does the following:

    - defines the rsyslog-gssapi package in debian/control
    - modifies the debian/rsyslog.install file, removing wildcards to
      avoid inadvertently pulling in the *gss* plugins
    - adds a debian/rsyslog-gssapi.install file, specifying the gssapi
      related plugins for the rsyslog-gssapi package

I've never submitted a *packaging* related patch before, so I may have
missed something important or obvious.  Hopefully this will help though.
Let me know if there's anything I can do to help!

Hi Ben,

thanks a lot for the patch. Much appreciated.


Cheers,
Michael

I don't plan any major changes for the rsyslog package before the lenny release. So this feature will probably have to wait until lenny is out.
