Exactly. The PostgreSQL code is used in the -modules-sql package. The
-modules-gssapi-* packages don't include any PostgreSQL stuff. (At least
I can't imagine why they would, and if they do, the dependencies are
wrong.)

The build can be further optimised by not building lots of other
unnecessary modules. My plan is to make a single debian/rules file with
all the relevant configure flags moved to the top of the file. That way,
the diff between the heimdal source package and the main source package
is trivial, and any enhancements should be easy to merge.

(The reason for uploading this version of -modules-gssapi-heimdal was to
get it into NEW immediately, so it would pass through NEW in a
reasonable time. Work continues, of course.)
