Well, this I can fix (somewhat), and I know why this is happening.  You
presumably have your debconf prompting level set to higher than medium, so
it's suppressing the krb5-config setup prompts.

I wonder if the right approach would be to have krb5-kdc prompt for which
Kerberos realm the KDC is for, rather than just always using the realm
from krb5-config, since it's not that uncommon to run a KDC for a
different realm than the local realm.  But that I'll worry about later.

I can't duplicate the original problem or see any way that it could
happen.  I suspect that Johannes Kloos's issue is a local problem.  Since
there's been no response to my original message, I'm going to downgrade
the severity of this bug to match the issue that you reported above and
fix that in the next upload.
