Well, but libapache-mod-auth-kerb depends on libkrb53, so basically while
everyone's existing installation will work at the cost of apt-get holding
back libkrb53, no one would be able to install the package.  So it's not
as bad as it could be, but it is kind of annoying.

Huh, really?  I didn't think it worked that way -- extra priority packages
are allowed to conflict with other packages, for instance, and they
migrate into testing.  If libapache-mod-auth-kerb conflicted with the
newer version of krb5, or if krb5 had changed SONAMEs, I knew that would
happen, but neither of those is going on in this case.

If that's the case, then libapache-mod-auth-kerb is going to hold up KDE
as well until we push the whole thing.  (The new version is uploaded now.)
