./etc/default_catalog.template is not a good default for template_file,
I agree. But /etc/keystone/catalog.template or similar would be a fine
default to include in the code. The tests would override the default

As for error messages - I completely agree we should have good error
handling like "default_catalog.template" not found

None of this implies that we shouldn't have good defaults for options
and instead require users to specify values for them
