Kerberos version 4 no longer supported by the upstream maintainers. I
don't think there is any point supporting kerberos 4, but you may be
able to reuse the same structure for kerberos 5 (???).

Kerberos version 5 isn't yet packaged for debian, however I believe it
is in progress...

My preference would be for two packages, one with and another without
kerberos support (ie you probably don't want to force everyone to
install the Kerberos libraries just to use your package...).

However, I am afraid I have never made multiple packages from the same
source, so I guess somebody else will have to you you there.
