Comment 0 for bug 1943530

In Ubuntu we provide a cryptographic core based on a small set of packages that we FIPS certify [0]. Applications and libraries should not bundle their own crypto code but should use the cryptographic core to benefit from the certification, but also importantly to reduce bugs due to small cryptographic libraries that are not monitored for low level crypto CVEs. This bug is to change libkrb5 to use the openssl crypto code instead of bundling its own.
