Yes, this last step was fully expected to be somewhat cumbersome.

Instead of removing those patches, try passing

gss_LIBS="-L/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/mit-krb5 -lgssapi_krb5" GSS_VENDOR=MIT

to the configure script.

Why do you think it's related to the Apache module?  I think you're hit
by dh-exec being too old, try something like:

--- a/debian/shibboleth-sp2-utils.install
