I'd like to propose instead that we just delete this commented-out enctype
section.  I've not encountered software with this bug in an extremely long
time, certainly not with any software that's still in or supported by
Debian, even in non-free.

I'd rather not see the example use the above syntax, since I don't think
Heimdal supports it.

For reference, here's the section under discussion:

# The following encryption type specification will be used by MIT Kerberos
# if uncommented.  In general, the defaults in the MIT Kerberos code are
# correct and overriding these specifications only serves to disable new
# encryption types as they are added, creating interoperability problems.
#
# Thie only time when you might need to uncomment these lines and change
# the enctypes is if you have local software that will break on ticket
# caches containing ticket encryption types it doesn't know about (such as
# old versions of Sun Java).

#       default_tgs_enctypes = des3-hmac-sha1
#       default_tkt_enctypes = des3-hmac-sha1
#       permitted_enctypes = des3-hmac-sha1
