I'm sure that I do want heimdal-clients and krb5-user to be coinstallable.
Maybe not on a KDC host, but I could imagine an administrator's workstation
needing both versions of kadmin (for use against different realms), and
there are also all the other utilities (kinit, klist, etc) to be considered.

What do you propose, then? Removing /usr/bin/kadmin altogether, leaving
only /usr/bin/kadmin.{heimdal,mit} ? Splitting off kadmin to a separate
alternatives group? In either case the heimdal-kdc postinst script needs
to use kadmin.heimdal . If you want to split off the kadmin implementations
into separate, mutually conflicting packages it's a different story, but
my preference is to avoid conflicts.

FYI: I created a thread on debian-devel on this issue:
