Secure Endpoints has pushed fixes to https://github.com/heimdal/heimdal
for both the 'master' (aka pre-1.6) and 'heimdal-1-5-branch' branches.
With the HEAD of each branch the following is now true:

1. The svc_use_strongest_session_key option does not need to
   be enabled.  If you choose to enable it you can.

2. If the afs/* service principal does not have a 1des key and the
   client requests a 1des key, a 1des session key can be issued.

3. a 1des session key or service ticket key can be issued for afs/*
   service principals even if 'allow_weak_crypto' is not enabled.

Thanks to Stanford University and KTH for testing.
