No. krb5-libs will miss its notes. But python-gssapi will contain its correct
notes. (Provided python-gssapi links to krb5-libs dynamically. I don't know
whether the notes only record a source package name the ELF file belongs to,
or whether they try to track origin of all object files the ELF consists of.)
