gssd doesn't properly detect kernel supported enctypes

Bug Description

rpc.gssd in nfs-common 1.1.1-10ubuntu1 (hardy) is hard-coded to use only encryption type 1 (des-cbc-crc), and thus will not work with servers that require other encryption types, even though they are supported in the kernel.

This is fixed by CITI:
http://www.citi.umich.edu/projects/nfsv4/linux/nfs-utils-patches/1.1.1-1/nfs-utils-1.1.1-007-gssd_use_kernel_supported_enctypes.dif

Of course, applying all the other CITI patches as well would be great:

Confirmed. This is a regression from the version of NFS in Gutsy.

    Allow to use encryption types that the kernel supports, not just
    des-cbc-crc. (LP: #180449)
