Bug Description

ssh-krb5 is mutually exclusive with openssh, wich means I can't have an openssh-server and ssh-krb5.

Shouldn't it be openssh-krb5 and shouldn't it be a normal openssh-client, but with kerberos5 support?

ubuntu-base and ubuntu-standard must be there because of openssh-client.

This is intentional. Kerberos support has been rolled into the openssh packages proper; we're only keeping ssh-krb5 around as a stopgap measure in case something in openssh's Kerberos support breaks. Try turning on Kerberos support in ssh[d]_config in the regular openssh packages and see if they work for you.

I already found it... Sorry about the bug, but the info is a bit hard to find.

openssh-krb5 has now been entirely integrated into openssh (for several releases), and ssh-krb5 is a metapackage depending on openssh-client and openssh-server.
