Uh, http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US/pool/k/krb5 (I think that's right).
krb5 and openafs are in unstable, go and get them now!

Well, it's not quite that simple, openafs requires an enormous kernel module,
which only builds on i386 (2.2 or 2.4) or PPC (2.4 kernel only).  On my powermac,
the 2.4.1 openafs module is 1/4 the size of the rest of the (uncompressed)
kernel!  And I can't get the i386 module built with kernel-source-2.2.18 to
install.  YMMV.

HTH,
