They could be in definitions.texinfo or or support-enc.texinfo.

Title:
  Man 5 page for kdc.conf does not mention acceptable encryption types

Status in “krb5” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Hi

  It would be helpful if the man 5 page for kdc.conf could explicitly
  specify the acceptable encryption types we can use.

  Currently the only way is looking at the source code in the following file:
  /krb5-1.9.1+dfsg/src/lib/crypto/krb/etypes.c

  grep ENCTYPE_ ./krb5-1.9.1+dfsg/src/lib/crypto/krb/etypes.c
      { ENCTYPE_DES_CBC_CRC,
      { ENCTYPE_DES_CBC_MD4,
      { ENCTYPE_DES_CBC_MD5,
      { ENCTYPE_DES_CBC_RAW,
      { ENCTYPE_DES3_CBC_RAW,
      { ENCTYPE_DES3_CBC_SHA1,
      { ENCTYPE_DES_HMAC_SHA1,
      { ENCTYPE_ARCFOUR_HMAC,
      { ENCTYPE_ARCFOUR_HMAC_EXP,
      { ENCTYPE_AES128_CTS_HMAC_SHA1_96,
      { ENCTYPE_AES256_CTS_HMAC_SHA1_96,
      { ENCTYPE_CAMELLIA128_CTS_CMAC,
      { ENCTYPE_CAMELLIA256_CTS_CMAC,
