I would like to see kadmin and the like in /usr/bin as well.

Well, let's take an excerpt from the FHS:

/usr/sbin : Non-essential standard system binaries

Purpose

This directory contains any non-essential binaries used exclusively by
the system administrator. System administration programs that are
required for system repair, system recovery, mounting /usr, or other
essential functions must be placed in /sbin instead.

First of all, I'd call kadmin and the like as "service administration
programs" rather than "system administration programs". And in addition
to that, I don't believe these tools are essential for fixing the
local system, unless everything is consolidated to a single machine 
(which is very rare, I think).

It would be nice if it's going to be fixed by the upstream maintainer.
