Oh, sorry.  I forgot the context.  I even re-read the bug and missed
that.  Apologies.

No, it's not a conffile.  The generated /etc/pam.d files are configuration
files, but if the user is using the defaults, I believe changes to the
defaults are just automatically applied (although Steve would know better
than I).  And krb5.conf normally isn't updated once written and I don't
think it could be updated with this particular type of change.
