These don't need to conflict. So packages can depend on either one if required, and doesn't matter what local preferences are. Then, if you want, you have another set of packages that create symlinks, e.g. for Heimdal: /usr/bin/kgadmin --> /usr/bin/kgadmin-heimdal /usr/bin/ktutil --> /usr/bin/ktutil-heimdal These packages would conflict with each other, and the local administrator can install the one depending on local preferences.
