Hi.  Here's the rationale behind the krb5-kdc krb5-kadmin-server split.
The krb5-kdc package includes the things you'd need on a traditional slave KDC. 
 One of the key things about a slave KDC is that the database is read-only.  
The slave is not making any changes to the database, locally or otherwise.
So, kadmin.local does not belong on a slave KDC.
However krb5-admin-server includes the stuff you need for a master KDC: local 
administration tools, the admin server, etc.
I'd be interested in documentation/description suggestions if this could be 
made more clear.

However, I would not support changing the binary location in Debian.

** Changed in: krb5 (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Invalid
