There was a discussion about this at the design summit, and it was
decided against for now because this winds up causing problems for
python depends in pip-based installs. (there is no idea of a source
package creating multiple binary packages in pip, so for people who just
need nova client to have to install nova and all of its depends is
problematic.)

python-novaclient has thusfar not been managed by the project officially.

Well... those branches are primarily maintained by ubuntu developers who
are working on packages for ubuntu, so bzr makes perfect sense for them.

We're also moving away from having the project itself maintain packaging
of any sort and letting distro such as you and fedora and ubuntu do that
in the way that you best see fit.

The current stable/diablo branch in the openstack projects is the place
where we're wanting any patch applied by a distro to go, so that you
guys can collaborate on applied patches. If you would like to see the
set of currently submitted but unapplied patches, check out gerrit here:
