system/security/kerberos-5 came from SUNWkdc
service/security/kerberos-5 came from SUNWkrb

I don't think they were modified in any way -- kclient was in SUNWkdc, for
instance.

No, that would be welcome, and I believe that .  Split them up however you 
please.

Yes.  Having security/kerberos-5 under both system and service is just a
pain, but the folks doing the rename ultimately didn't have much input from
the relevant teams and had a massive number of packages to try to
coordinate, so things like this ended up happening.
