although i understand you objected to D51420, i landed it anyway[0]
which means the packages are back to their old names and there are
no more FreeBSD-krb5* packages.

let me explain why i did this:

- the change to the package names caused friction both inside the
  project (e.g., it broke the OCI build scripts) and outside the
  project (according to reports i received from downstream users).

- it was not clear there is any advantage to renaming the packages.

- due to above i was specifically asked to land this commit by several
  people, including a pkgbase maintainer, and one of my mentors at the
  time.

- i considered this a reasonable course of action because this restored
  the previous status quo and undid a change that (as far as i'm aware)
  hadn't been reviewed by #pkgbase, so in case of doubt, i erred on the
  side of restoring the previous behaviour.

i apologise for reverting your code over your stated objections but now
that we are back to the previous behaviour, we can discuss whether to
rename these packages, which i suggest doing via a Phabricator review
that includes #pkgbase.
