I don't know what is in the krb5-workstation RPM.  However, if I were
packaging things I would break it out into:

 * common libraries

 * kerberos clients (kinit, klist, kdestroy)

 * kerberos servers (krb5kdc, kadmind, krb524d, etc.)

 * and then some set of application clients and servers (rcmd, telnet,
   ftp, etc.)

Installing a kerberos client should not result in the installation of a
KDC nor should it install services that are not directly related.
