Not only that, but it conflicts with key krb4 libraries (libroken and
libsl) IIRC.

Ideally I thin the krb4 maintainer should have same say.
However I haven't heard from him.
I think there several things I want to do before uploading Heimdal to
unstable as it is in experimental:
* Find out what packages will break.
* Find out what packages will still be broken even after recompiling.
* Find out what is required to keep AFS support working (assuming I
don't already have it).
