Thank you for reporting this issue and helping make Ubuntu even better.
The reason '-r' requires the profile name is to aid packaging scripts
and for safety. Consider when multiple packages add auth-client-config
profiles. If one is removed, it removes the profile and will reset the
profile. Without a profile name for reset, the files will get reset
automatically, which may not be desired (eg, the user is using a
different acc profile provided by another package). Also, consider when
the user uses auth-client-config to update nsswitch.conf and the user
later updates nsswitch.conf manually. If the user then tries to use
auth-client-config to reset the profile and a profile is not specified
with '-r', auth-client-config would remove the user's manual changes.
Requiring the profile name prevents this.
