I got a chance to test the proposed package today and there is good news
and bad news.

The good news is that it installs cleanly and doesn't seem to introduce
any regressions or other problems.

The bad news is that it doesn't actually fix the issue identified in the 
original bug description - specifically reducing the log level for the messages:
ERROR: GSS-API: error in gss_acquire_cred(): Unspecified GSS failure.  Minor 
code may provide more information - No credentials cache found
WARNING: Failed to create krb5 context for user with uid xxxx for server yyyy

Looking at the patch, these messages don't seem to be addressed. The
GSS-API error is in display_status_2() in gss_util.c and the krb5
context message is in handle_krb5_upcall() in gssd_proc.c.

I can't make any promises, but if I get some time to put a debdiff
together that covers this along with Andrew's stuff, I will. If someone
else has time to get to it first, though, I won't feel slighted. :-)
