The current setup with distributing ssh keys and passwords by LDAP into a
locally stored database has the main advantage that you do not need have
online connection to any authentication master somewhere. Thats why it is
stable and still the accounts can be maintained in the debian developer
database. Not sure about this for a Kerberos Server.
