Hello.
It seems there is some inconsistency in that things like openldap are split into libldap and openldap, but krb5 is not split, causing installing of unnecessary services/etc on a base system.Description:


Additional info:
* package version(s)
* config and/or log files etc.


Steps to reproduce:
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Won't fix
Additional comments about closing:  krb5 packages takes 5MB on disk and does not start any services by default. As much as I think we should do more split packaging, it doesn't seem reasonable in this case.

OpenLDAP is split because of historical reasons: we used to have libldap in core and openldap in extra. The split was also done to fix a dependency loop with libsasl. AFAIK these things don't apply to krb5, so it was never split.
