I used xorg-x11 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 & libkrb5-dev 1.4.3-6

I used this patch to build-depend on libkrb5-dev & set HasKrb5,
Krb5Includes & Krb5Libraries -
http://cgi.sfu.ca/~jdbates/tmp/xorg/200602230/patch

There is probably a better place for HasKrb5, Krb5Includes &
Krb5Libraries - but I couldn't find where?

Many thanks - Jack

I don't see why we need to keep this bug since the cloned one (against
libxau) is more relevant.
