Hi Brian,
I'll try to answer both of your mails in one.

Ah, that gave a hint.
Removing the empty directory /usr/include/gssapi and reinstalling heimdal-dev
created the link /usr/include/gssapi -> heimdal/gssapi/.

I guessed so; that's why I wrote the statement with the "If..." ;-)
Thanks for giving me the details.

Unfortunately it does not.
I already had the latest [from testing] heimdal-dev package installed [I have
it installed for years], but in all my installations (amd64 & i386)
/usr/include/gssapi was an empty directory, which - according to dlocate - was
installed by heimdal-dev.
The mtime of each of the directories was around early September (3rd - 6th).
Maybe that gives a hint.
For me the current issue is solved (the patch not necessary with the link in
place), but I fear there is a more general issue hidden.
Is it possible that previously /usr/lib/gssapi was a directory [maybe with
contents], and the migration from the directory to the link went wrong
in the upgrade.
Googling 'round a bit, I found a similar issue (#545313), which even mentions
Debian Policy. Maybe some playing around with {pre,post}{inst,rm} scripts is
necessary to doeal with the issue.
Best regards & thanks for packaging heimdal for Debian
Peter
