The tricky part is coordination. At what point can libpam-krb5 drop the
minimum_uid setting and assume that it's in krb5.conf?

My concern with this is that I think this only affects a small set of
users of the packages, so I'm reluctant to bother the other ones. One has
to both have a mix of Kerberos-authenticated and non-Kerberos users,
distinguish by UID, and mind the silent Kerberos authentication failure
when handling the UNIX login.
