Please reintroduce libauthen-krb5-perl and libauthen-krb5-admin-perl

[Christopher Odenbach]

Hi,

I recently discovered that the two kerberos related perl packages

libauthen-krb5-perl
libauthen-krb5-admin-perl

have been dismissed from Debian as the first one did not compile anymore 
due to compiler errors, and the second one has a hard dependancy on the 
first one. The upstream source of the first package was also dead.

As we need both packages I tried to fix the problem and succeeded. 
Because the upstream source was dead I contacted the last perl 
maintainer Ioan Rogers if he would like me to take over - he did.

So now I am the maintainer of Authen::Krb5, the new release 1.906 has 
been uploaded to CPAN yesterday. It contains the last debian patch from 
Ansgar and my patches to compile cleanly on Debian.

So basically a

dh-make-perl --cpan Authen::Krb5 --build

will build a new and fresh debian package with very little manual work 
to do (changelog, ...).

I would be very glad if the new package would find its way back into 
debian, and then the also dismissed libauthen-krb5-admin-perl as well.

Thank you,

Christopher
