Debian package comparison

I'm preparing the next version of the Debian Kerberos packages and went
through all of the patches in the Debian package to make sure that nothing
was missing from the Kerberos RT.
The Debian packages that I'm working on currently contain the patches from
all of the following tickets:
Kerberos RT #1988
Kerberos RT #2577
Kerberos RT #2648
Kerberos RT #3010
Kerberos RT #3011
Kerberos RT #3013
Kerberos RT #3014
Kerberos RT #3015
Kerberos RT #3030
Kerberos RT #3086
Kerberos RT #3265
Kerberos RT #3266
Some of those are new from tonight, but most have been in there for a
while. All of them have been tested, and all of them should be suitable
for a stable release (although you may not like how the Hurd portability
is handled).
In addition, the Debian package also has the following patches:
bsd-portability
Patch for GNU/kFreeBSD portability. This one is brand new; I think
it should live in the Debian version for at least a version to make
sure that it really is sufficient.
debian-default-enctype
Changes the default KDC enctype to DES from triple DES. I don't
know/remember the history of this one.
debian-no-rpath
Disables rpath in binaries and libraries to fit Debian policy.
kprop-service-name
Patch from Sam from 2001 that makes kpropd and kprop default to a
hard-coded kprop port if the service wasn't found. I didn't find this
one in the Kerberos RT, but wasn't sure if Sam had some reason for not
already having this one submitted as a bug. (Or maybe I just missed
it.)
krb4-bind-des425
This changes the linkage of libkrb4 to bind tightly (-Wl,-Bsymbolic)
to libdes425 so that OpenSSL DES libraries won't interpose. My guess
is that this is no longer necessary now that everything uses symbol
versioning, but I'm not positive.
krlogin-alpha
#undefs TIOCGLTC at the top of krlogin. I'm not sure of the history
of this or if it's the right fix in general, rather than just on Linux
systems.
telnet-help
Another patch applied by Sam in 2001 that I wasn't sure the status
of. It changes the semantics of "telnet help" so that it attempts to
connect to a host named "help" rather than prints an incorrect usage
message.
