Thank you for asking, Jeremy.  That sounds like a great idea.  I'm assuming 
that samba/winbind would look at /etc/krb5.conf if the private one is not 
created.  On the other hand, if libkrb5-3 is soon to be fixed, then all that 
work might not be necessary.  Perhaps someone at Debian could inform us of the 
current status.  I know that at one time, Christian Perrier was following this.
