Taking a step back, even though the tooling and packaging formats are
different, it is a massive benefit to OpenStack and to operators if the
end result of installing OpenStack packages on any distro is as similar
as possible. To that end, this should be one unified packaging team
focused on delivering a usable OpenStack through the distros.
