Looking at the package's history in git, I can see that you originally
(as requested, albeit with typoes) updated the package name in both
Depends and Build-Depends and then reverted the latter. I can only
assume that you never actually tried installing the generated package,
as libkrb5-multidev does not exist; nor is it the package which is
referred to in Jelmer's original request or patch.

Please upload _soon_ to fix this, either by correctly both depending and
build-depending on krb5-multidev (was there a reason not to simply apply
the patch Jelmer provided to do so?) or also reverting the dependency to
libkrb5-dev; the former would be preferable, as the latter leaves the
original point of this bug report unresolved.

If you would prefer an NMU to fix this, that's not a problem, just say
so.
