I can confirm that the hang disappeared by quoting the passwords
properly in ldap-debian-edu-install and kerberos-kdc-init.  To fix the
incorrect handling of passwords with '#' in them, I ended up copying
and editing debconf-set-selection to fix bug #636219.  I just
completed a test installation with squeeze-test using *#secret#* as
the password, and this time it worked just fine.

I saw claims that #636219 is fixed in wheezy.  We can remove this copy
when we move to wheezy, or get a fix backported to squeeze and drop
our workaround when it is in place.
