master key type in kdc.conf

Hey all,

We're in the process of rolling our mkey to get off 3des, and we found 
that someone in the before-times has put this line in our kdc.conf:

master_key_type = des3-hmac-sha1

Obviously, that's not going to be the master key type of the new key, and 
of course, I think when this command came out, there was no "use mkey" 
format, so this was perhaps a primitive rollover method?

Would things break if I just took this line out?  Or would the kdc fail to 
start because a K/M of the default enctype isn't present yet?

Does it make sense to remove this line before rollover or after?
(This might be worth a mention in the docs).
