In fact; you could drop the deployment flag and have the script get the deployment type from the /etc/katello/katello-configure.conf file (deployment=), or allow --deployment to be a override option for what's in the conf file; i.e. deployment=headpin v. deployment=sam.

Ideally it would work without requiring you to pass in the above flags 
too and just go to the default:

# katello-configure --reset

gets you ACME_Corporation with admin/admin
