Do you know the timeline for having those added to the Ubuntu cloud
archives? I think we try not to add PPAs in devstack, but I'm not sure
if that's a hard policy.

To set up integration tests we'll need an option in devstack to set
the messaging driver to this new one. That flag should also trigger
setting up the dependencies needed. Before you spend time implementing
that, though, we should clarify the policy on PPAs.
