I have converted Heimdal. Correctly I hope! Unfortunately, by
uploading this I will cause short term breakage to other packages. e.g
libpam-krb5 debian/rules has:
LDFLAGS=-L/usr/lib/heimdal
If I got this right it now needs to be changed to:
LDFLAGS=-L/usr/lib/$(DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH)/heimdal
Should I upload anyway and try to identify packages that this breaks? Or what?
Oh, in anticipation of the obvious question: *.so files get installed
in /usr/lib/$(DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH)/heimdal not
/usr/lib/$(DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH) to make it possible to install Heimdal
and MIT KRB5 libraries and the same time.
