Thierry: I cannot think of a downside to having keyutils installed. mount.cifs can authenticate using NTLM. In fact, this is the default. Kerberos authentication for CIFS mount is only really used in Active Directory context. In that use-case, the administrator of the machine mounting a CIFS share already had to do something (join the AD and/or configure Kerberos), hence my earlier comment.
However, making keyutils a Recommends of smbfs make sense to me. I would go for that, as it would simplify the process.
