Yes! I would actually prefer a rework. We implemented that in a hurry but
if you look at the initial commit messages we knew it was a stop-gap until
a better idea came along. We need to have some way to do this dynamically
or at least in a more readable way. I had a thought of laying down a json
file with the contents being which files to copy/move/change permissions on
and reading that in. In that way the config-external script never actually
changes and the deploy tool can determine which files would get pulled in
by the way it lays down that json file.

I rejected using a '*' match for security reasons but also because some
configs need to go to different places. In the case of neutron, the
neutron.conf will be in /etc/neutron and the ml2_conf.ini will be in
/etc/neutron/plugins/ml2. So I don't think '*' matching will work. We are
open to ideas!
