Your statement is true for software that really doesn't care what GSS-API
mechanism it uses, which is true of only a tiny minority of GSS-API
software out there right now.  For the most part, GSS-API is being used to
negotiate Kerberos authentication.

Getting it to work with Heimdal does nothing for me.  The default Kerberos
implementation in Debian is MIT, which already provides its own generic
mechglue implementation.
