Hi,

That's very nice, thanks a lot for releasing such a thing.

However, there's room for improvement if you would like to see your tool
shipped everywhere:

- please define a requirements.txt
- please get the debian folder away from the main master branch,
especially considering it's using dh_virtualenv !!!
- please tag with a release number

Also, with what release of OpenStack has this been tested? Is this bound
to a specific release?

Cheers,
