I don't think there's a way to make any changes for this issue in wheezy. I understand that you are disappointed because you'd like to use your local packages.
Debian's policy is to support transitions for one release. That's why libkrb53 is a dummy package in squeeze; it does nothing there. The issue is that without a breaks or conflicts, the package will never get cleaned up or removed; it's fairly standard for transitions to conflict after a release so that the cruft gets cleaned up. I think that there's value in cleaning up the old package, and to the larger community that value is probably greater than supporting local packages that cannot be built against wheezy. According to policy/practice, this is not a bug in wheezy. I'd have no problem dropping all references to libkrb53 from jessie and sid because the transition through wheezy will get the old package to be cleaned up. You could rebuild such a krb5 package on wheezy. However you need to rebuild for security updates etc. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
