Hi Mathieu,

When debian fixed this issue for Jessie and Wheezy (their stable
releases), they left the default to off, in order to not break existing
setups that aren't prepared to do validation of the KDC (as it requires
possibly setting up an additional keytab). The update for Ubuntu 12.04
LTS included this default. I think this is the sensible thing to do for
Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.

(See https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=796195 and in
particular, the added NEWS entry in
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/211063096/pykerberos_1.1+svn4895-1build2_1.1+svn4895-1+deb6u1build0.12.04.1.diff.gz
for explanation.)

I'm touching up your debdiff to do this (and include a similar NEWS
entry), and will push this to trusty-security next week.

Thanks.
