Hello,
I raised this issue on the heimdal-discuss mailing list and
was I asked:

Brian> 0.7.2 libraries?
I got the following response:
Johan> Not really, unless you add a lot of code. Zephyr is very

Johan> Not that I dislike zephyr, but I think it's time to retire

Johan> Probably 99.9% are already using some other IM system
Johan> anyway.
As such, it would appear not possible to get zephyr working without
having Heimdal compile against kerberos4kth, but I am not going to do
this again as:
* kerberos4kth is no longer maintained, not upstream or in Debian.
* I have lost contact with the kerberos4kth maintainer.
* krb4 has numerous security problems.
* It is very messy as each package comes with conflicting libraries.
* I was asked to drop krb4 support in bug #315059.
I suspect this isn't the response you were hoping for. I apologise for
any inconvenience.
PS: please note the change in the bug id.
