Please remove the heimdal source package from testing. As maintainers,
we believe that Heimdal is not in a good enough state to be included in
a stable release.

There is still some activity in the upstream Git master branch. However:

* The last regular release (1.5) was in 2011, last RC was in 2012
* No security releases since Jan 2012, despite various recent security
  releases for MIT Kerberos since and occasional security releases while Heimdal
  was active
* There is no noticeable QA happening upstream. Tests fail on 32 bit,
  regressions have been introduced.
* Nobody upstream is interested in release management; we have asked
  about this on the development list multiple times.

I have filed bugs against the packages that depend on Heimdal to
either switch to building against Heimdal OR MIT or to drop their
Heimdal dependencies altogether.

Let's close this then.

That's fixed now, this should migrate tomorrow night.
