For what it's worth (knowing that this message may come too late), Peter
Knowles has done some work to create a Kerberos model for Config::Model.

This model (and Config::Model) could help:
- in providing validation for Kerberos config files
- upgrading configuration during package upgrade (see current thread on
  dh_config_model_upgrade)

As a bonus, you would also get a GUI to edit Kerberos config files.  (a
wizard for Config::Model is also planned so users can start a config
from scratch)

That said, I do not know how complere is Kerberos model, or if Peter
still has time to work on it.

Peter, what's the status on Kerberos model ?

All the best
