This is exactly the kind of thing I was hoping to avoid when integrating
the Kerberos patch into the Debian openssh packages.  Creating separate
packages at the application level doesn't scale at all; what happens
when there's another feature people want two builds for (now we have
four packages), or another (now we have eight)?

Is there no other way?
