Not surprising since there are very few packages that link to libss
(AFAIK). During my test run, I found that the soname of the library
installed by heimdal is libss.so.0 while the one installed by
e2fsprogs is libss.so.2. So it seems that lib from e2fsprogs is the
better choice if any packages do want to link against the lib.

You could rename ss.h and libss.so and libss.a before installing
heimdal and then copy them back after installation. Heimdal would be
linked against libss.so.0 so it does not matter whether libss.so
points to libss.so.0 or libss.so.2. And packages installed further
down the line will link against the greater version of the lib.
