So DFS would require /sbin/key.dns_resolver? DFS was the original
requirement for adding keyutils as a Recommends back in 2011 via
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=504690.

Your list then becomes:
for several scenarios:
- 'cifsacl' option is used or
- kerberos auth is used / spnego is used
- when DFS is used

The extra deps that keyutils pulls in seem minor and already exist on the 
normal system:
Depends: libc6 (>= 2.15), libkeyutils1 (>= 1.6)

FWIW, I would favor promoting keyutils back to Recommends.
