First, a new debian-edu-config package has to be built and after that
it takes about 10 days until it will be available in testing and on
the dvd.

I suggest to wait at least until we have gosa available (promised to
happen this weekend, so 10 days later it'll be in testing).

Currently I work on the integration of kerberos too. So far, I have
prepared the script to create principals and the homedirs whenever a
user is created in gosa (postcreate hook): That works fine :). For
password synchronization some more work/ideas are needed; I'll probably
send a draft of the script to discuss that later.

I have also a nearly ready script to integrate the kdc-setup in the
installation, see here, 'will commit the latest version later:
http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/debian-edu/trunk/src/debian-edu-config/share/debian-edu-config/tools/kerberos-kdc-init?sc=1

The only thing missing is some password stuff (you need to enter the
root password for the kerberos master key which is not(?) available
during installation). For now, perhaps first use that script from the
command line after installation and then integrate it.

So, all in all anything works in principle, (I already created a user
in gosa, homedir and principle were created automatically; and I logged
out and in again with the new user using kerberos). To have all that out
of the the box, it'll probably take one more fixing round ;-). 

So to answer your question: As soon as I see a chance that most stuff
works and is committed to svn, I'll ask Holger or Petter to upload a
new package if that does not happen earlier anyway. Don't want to
promise anything, but it looks very promising at least to me!
