The magic incantation to overcome this particular hurdle was:
PROMPT> addgroup nobody
PROMPT> adduser nobody nobody
PROMPT> chown -R nobody:nobody /var/lib/dirsrv/

Shoudl I file a bugreport against setup-kolab/pykolab requesting a ownership 
test of /var/lib/dirsrv/ before changing the user to "nobody"?
