Description
The current installer shows the values of options for foreman-installer --help
For example:
# satellite-installer --full-help | grep foreman-db-database
--foreman-db-database Database 'production' database (e.g. foreman) (current: "foreman")
--reset-foreman-db-database Reset db_database to the default value ("foreman")
Here the current database name is shown which is "foreman"
In the foremanctl the behaviour is different.
# foremanctl deploy --help | grep foreman-database-name
[--foreman-database-name FOREMAN_DATABASE_NAME]
[--reset-foreman-database-name]
--foreman-database-name FOREMAN_DATABASE_NAME
--reset-foreman-database-name
I think many customers might be using this functionality for fetching the values quickly and would be good to maintain the similarity between old and new installer

Research direction
Start by running foremanctl deploy --help and tracing the deploy command's help-generation entry point. Compare its parameter output with foreman-installer --full-help; done means deploy help displays current parameter values and reset defaults consistently.
