Speaking as one of the former maintainers of openssh-krb5 (for a brief
period near the end of its life), I don't think this is a great idea.
Maintaining a separate forked copy of the ssh code base in another package
is painful from a security standpoint, and managing the shared
configuration and conflicts and whatnot can be rather horrific.
