That would be ideal.I find the Debian build system a bit awkward at recompiling source packages for multiple binary packages; sometimes packages' "install" rules must be run before other packages' "build" rules; sometimes packages have conflicting build-depends. Maybe this needs to be documented somewhere?
Happily, Ghe Rivero has already written a patch for libapache-mod-auth-kerb to recompile both libapache-m-a-k & libapache2-m-a-k (#264231). I integrated my work with Ghe's solution & rebuilt this package (http://cgi.sfu.ca/~jdbates/moin/moin.cgi/KerberosApacheModule)
Hopefully Sam - the libapache-mod-auth-kerb maintainer - or another Debian Developer with more time, can bring our changes into the official distribution?
Thanks Steve! Jack
