Debian uses /var/lib/heimdal-kdc, so I'd vote for adding "--with-dbdir"
to make everyone happy. I'd suggest keeping the default as so it won't
cause surprise.

So 
	test "$localstatedir" = '${prefix}/var' && localstatedir='/var/heimdal'
should become 
	test "$localstatedir" = '${prefix}/var' && localstatedir='/var'
and $dbdir should default to '${localstatedir}/heimdal'.

If you have the time you could also add a "--with-rundir" switch to
override /var/run to make everything relocatable; whether that's worth
it I'm not sure.
