Thank you very much, that made it a lot clearer to me.

Now here is my success report:

- Applying the patch to the Debian (unstable) package sources and
  makeing the binary packages fails (I guess their sources are from
  older CVS).

- Applying the patch to the CVS head branch succeeds.

- Creating Debian packages from the CVS head branch fails.

I guess that your patch will make it soon into the main branch, and
later eventually into the Debian packages, so I consider using plain
Coda-token authentication in the meantime.

My goal was to make a How To on Setting up a Coda Cell with Kerberos5
authentication on Debian with minimal administrative Overview.

For now I stripped it down to Coda Setup, the name ist still the same:

I'd be glad if this is of use to anybody.
