As this middleware is just a client, I am proposing we move it into the existing keystone client library - python-keystoneclient. What are the immediate feelings here?

I did that in Fedora for Essex, but it broke post folsom-2 due to new
intra-keystone dependencies in auth-token middleware:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=844508

There's also an issue with python subpackages sharing python namespace
- who owns overlapping __init__.py ?
Best would be if auth-token is moved out of keystone.middleware, there
are stuff imported[1] not required by auth-token.
