Package: libkrb5-3
Version: 1.10.1+dfsg-5

Is there any chance that the "Breaks" changes can be reverted or tweaked that were made in this changelog?

krb5 (1.10+dfsg~alpha1-5) unstable; urgency=low

  * Add texinfo back to build depends: policy has been subverted by the
    evil forces of wishful thinking and forward progress
  * Conflict: with libkrb53 again. The transition is over and we no longer
    need that package.

We have some older Debian packages that we cannot get to rebuild properly that depend on libkrb53, and since the Wheezy version of libkrb5-3 now conflicts with libkrb53 (even though all the same functionality is still available), we can no longer use those packages. Since libkrb5-3 is such an integral package for other common servers (like sshd), I can't simply hold that package back to the Squeeze version.

A change was made to the Ubuntu packages to make the transition a little less heavy handed by changing libkrb53 into a transitional package.

A previous bug reports relating to the transition:

#596678

Thanks.
