The patch breaks Python 3 compatibility:

python3
Python 3.2.3 (default, Feb 20 2013, 14:44:27) 
[GCC 4.7.2] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import kerberos
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/kerberos.cpython-32mu.so: undefined symbol: PyCObject_Check

See also:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=744049

which also mentions this issue. So currently I would reject this patch. The latest NMU package also created an issue, due to the postinst hook.

@Thomas Goirand: Do you know if someone has fixed this already?
