Perhaps something like:
[libdefaults]
k5login = $HOME/.k5login # Default
k5login = /var/lib/k5login/$USER # Centrally managed
k5login = # Disable altogether
I'm not fixated on that substitution syntax, but I imagine there'd need
to be some way to substitute in the homedir and username. Python's
ConfigParser supports a %() substitution syntax, but using that seems
like it would be a mistake since it substitutes variables within the
same section.
I can't promise to implement this for 1.9, but I can write it up as an
early project and perhaps do it on the margin later.
