Yes, I believe that 1.e2.5 probably gets this right.  But it still
doesn't influence ticket enctype.  Also, note that you should not need
to restrict your client enctypes from the full set.  If you do so,
then you make it harder to add enctypes to the realm.  The code should
correctly negotiate the available enctypes.  We've been fixing bugs
where it doesn't happen as we find them.  We don't currently know of
such bugs.
