dpkg-reconfigure krb5-kdc doesn't request realm info

Bug Description

When installing Kerberos with this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SingleSignOn#Overview%20of%20Kerberos
or
when running dkpg-reconfigure

(I assume) it should request the realm (domain) of the kerberos server but doesn't

when creating a new KDC it defaults to ATHENA.MIT.EDU

without much info on the web about how to configure this in a simple way (documentation seems to assume an understanding of the kerberos terminology) it is hard to use this powerful server.

There are many unexpained sections in the configuration that is installed with this package which makes "trial and error" unlikely to succeed with this security application.
