Robie any chance I could get you to sync krb5 1.17-2 from Debian
unstable to disco?
It's probably not a big deal but there's no reason not to take the fix
into Disco.

yes.

I was working with this a bit testing the upgrade from wheezy to buster
on the Debian side.  Wheezy is the only Debian release that is vaguely
extant where this could come up.
In my testing, Debconf didn't actually remove the template on an
upgrade.
So, The two cases where I found that I could reproduce the situation
Were:

* remove krb5-admin-server on the old release and install it on the new
  release (without doing an upgrade)

* Copy in a /etc/default/krb5-admin-server from another system.

Neither of those seems serious enough to backport a fix for.  I'd rather
wait until we get a better understanding of how this gets triggered
before doing any changes to xenial.  I agree though that if we need to
change any old release xenial is the only target.
