debathena-moira-clients (on squeeze) depends on libzephyr4,
libzephyr4-krb5 | libzephyr3-krb. The bare libzephry4 dependency is
generated by dpkg-shlibdeps, because something in moira-clients links
libzephyr. We add the disjunctive dependency to make sure you end up
with a Kerberos-enabled libzephyr.
But the important part is that this should be fine, because
libzephyr4-krb5 *Provides* libzephyr4, and as long as Karl isn't
shipping .symbols files for libzephyr, the auto-generated dependencies
should be unversioned.
So this is a symptom of some larger problem, which may simply be that
aptitude's resolver being stupid in some way.
