I don't agree it would be "great". And IMO, this serves no purpose.

Currently, in Debian, we already have a compute specific config file, in
/etc/nova/nova-compute.conf, which holds this information for hypervisor
specific stuff, so on the user point of view, it's already nice and
separated from the rest of the directives.
