IMO, what needs to happen, is Fuel to use a packaged version of these
puppet scripts. This has numerous advantages:

- the openstack.yaml repository would also point to the corresponding
puppet stuff

- the version of puppet-openstack would automatically match the one of
the target installation, because it would be stored in the corresponding
packaging repository

- we wouldn't need to hack symlinks in /etc/puppet/modules

- there would be no need to use rsync from the master node to the slave
nodes, as the correct version of fuel-library would be installed in the
IBP image by fuel-agent, making it automatically available

What we shouldn't do though, is loose the continuous testing of upstream
puppet-openstack modules, so we make sure they never break Fuel,
otherwise we would discover issues too late.

FYI, I have just finished uploading all of puppet-openstack Mitaka b1
tag (which in fact corresponds to b3, somehow) to Debian Experimental.
This could be reused by Fuel.
