[Bug 371765] Re: Please merge krb5 1.7dfsg~beta1-3 (main) from Debian unstable (main)

[Anders Kaseorg]

It may still be better to upload 1.6.dfsg.4~beta1-13 or -13ubuntu1
before moving ahead with 1.7, even if we’re dropping likewise-open for
now.

All krb5 rdeps in Ubuntu currently depend on libkrb53.
1.6.dfsg.4~beta1-7 and -8 turn libkrb53 into a transitional package that
depends on the new names for the krb5 libraries (libkrb5-3,
libk5crypto3, etc.).  1.7 drops the libkrb53 transitional package.  So
if we were to upload krb5 1.7 immediately, we would break all those
rdeps until they are rebuilt (as mentioned in the changelog for
1.7dfsg~beta1-2).

If we instead upload 1.6.dfsg.4~beta1-13 or -13ubuntu1, and rebuild all
the krb5 rdeps against that, we will then be able to sync or merge 1.7
without breaking anything.
