This sounds like a great use case for an additional parameter on
ucdpuppet::kerberos::config, to allow a user to pass in a source location,
with a sane default, or to use an ERB template in conjunction with at least
one parameter to define the contents. The parameters could be defined in
hiera, so there's no special if case in your code, just various data fed in
based on your hierarchy.
