Thomas,

I also want Debian implementations in our code base.  I'm sorry to say I
don't have any bandwidth to help actually make that happen on your end,
but once the Ubuntu work is done, it should be fairly straightforward to
port it to also work on Debian (since I think the package names are the
same).  I am fairly certain we can commit to doing that.

The beta releases are not enough for us, however.  What we need is in
order of preference 1) per-commit, 2) nightly package builds 3) builds
with 3-5 day delta.  Anything else is not helpful.  I am not criticizing
you, I know you are only one dude and are not superman, just explaining
what we need :)

The reason we need this is we want to gate on the latest software
OpenStack has to offer.  In this thread there has been discussion of
Delorean which is Red Hat's RDO rebuilt from master every 2-3 days.  While
imperfect and sometimes gate-blocking for several days (because it isn't
per-commit) it gives us a good sanity check of our software gates.

The only way we can ever get to voting gating packaging is with per-commit
builds as well as OpenStack mirrors of the packaging.
