 I think you mean squeeze version here, wheezy (currently in testing
state, development release for next stable version) has version 1.9.

 This sounds like a regression to me ...

 If the issue is like you state, could you please file a bugreport about
it? This seems like a bug that should get addressed in squeeze directly
instead of working around with offering a backport that fixes the issue.
backports is a place for offering newer features in packages, not a
place for getting bugfixes for issues that are within the stable
releases.

 Can you kindly bring that up with the krb5 maintainers to track the
issue down and get it fixed in squeeze? That would be really
appreciated!

 Thanks in advance,
Rhonda
