debian/source/local-options and debian/source/local-patch-header are
included in the working Git repository for the package but are not
included in the source package as uplaoded to Debian. (Yes, this means
that they're somewhat directly contrary to the whole point of dgit.
However, they're the best available mechanism to use a single patch for
all changes with the 3.0 (quilt) package format if one doesn't want to
attempt to track changes as separate patches.)
Feel free to experiment with krb5-sync in experimental, since I'm about to
release a new version, so there will be an upload that will clear out any
NMUs in experimental as out of date before too much longer.
