the behaviour of kinit changed after an upgrade from Debian wheezy to
Debian jessie (around 2014-10-10).

Previously it was possible to simply say

 $ kinit

on the command line and kinit then would assume my current user as
username for obtaining a ticket for the default Kerberos realm.

Since my upgrade, I have to always specify the Kerberos username when
executing kinit:

 $ kinit mike

Do you have an existing, expired ticket cache for some other principal?  I
believe kinit defaults to the default principal in your current ticket
cache if you have one, with a higher priority than the fallback to local
username in the local realm.

Greets,
Mike

Nope, for ages on that machine in question, I have used kinit for my login only.
