[Pkg-chromium-maint] Bug#601797: chromium-browser: does not support Kerberos (GSS-Negotiate)

Package: chromium-browser
Version: 6.0.472.63~r59945-1
Severity: wishlist
File: /usr/bin/chromium-browser

Chromium does not currently support Kerberos authentication via
GSS-Negotiate.  This makes it significantly less useful for me than
Iceweasel, and so it would be nice if it did support that.

While I don't expect that this feature will come from Debian, I will
provide any Debian developer a Kerberos account (and a Kerberos
authentication-protected URL) if one is needed to implement this.
