winbind_krb5_locator.so is built but does not appear in any binary
package, making it unavailable to users.

The manpage, however, is installed. From the manpage:

  The winbind_krb5_locator.so file needs to be manually copied to the plugin
  directory of the system Kerberos library. For MIT Kerberos this is often:
  /usr/lib/krb5/plugins/libkrb5/. For Heimdal Kerberos this is often:
  /usr/lib/plugin/krb5/. Please check your local Kerberos installation for
  the correct paths. No modification in /etc/krb5.conf is required to enable
  the use of this plugin.
  
  After copying the locator plugin to the appropriate plugin directory it
  should immediately be available for use. Users should be able to kinit
  into their kerberized Windows environment without any modification or
  servers being put manually into /etc/krb5.conf.

Ideally this would Just Work when used with either MIT or Heimdal
Kerberos, but even if for now it would need manual intervention, it
would be nice to at least have this binary available somewhere.
