The only dissector using the old ber funcions dissect_ber_old_* now is
packet-kerberos.  Does anyone have the ASN.1 spec so we can generate
this dissector?  We should try to delete this functions now.
The core of Kerberos is in RFC 1510; the ASN.1 specifications are scattered throughout sections 5 and 6. The other references in the Kerberos dissector probably have other parts to contribute to the spec.

[The Heimdal developers] have chosen to do the ASN.1 support with the help of a compiler that takes the Kerberos 5 ASN.1 specification, and produces a set of functions to encode, decode, and otherwise manipulate these structures.
and the Heimdal 1.2.1 source appears to have a heimdal-1.2.1/lib/asn1/ k5.asn1 file along with some other .asn1 files.
