Package: libkrb5-dev

Hi guys,

The krb5-config script in libkrb5-dev currently includes the multiarch
library directory name in its output:

$ krb5-config --libs
-L/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu -lkrb5 -lk5crypto -lcom_err
$

This is redundant because this library is on the system path.  It also has
knock-on effects for other parts of the system; the samba package uses the
output of krb5-config --libs when populating its LDFLAGS variable, which is
then exported to an example Makefile shipped in the libsmbclient-dev
package.  So I can't make libsmbclient-dev a multiarch -dev package until
I resolve these arch-dependent contents.

Fortunately the makefile in question appears to be redundant so I can
probably just drop it entirely, but there may be other unintended effects of
leaking this directory into krb5-config output.
