[OpenStack-docs] Debian installation guide for Juno

I'm seeing some bugs pop up for the Debian variant of the Juno installation
guide that merely add to the list of existing open bugs from prior
releases. Considering the bugs and installation testing status page [1], I
don't see any attempts to test and/or maintain this variant. The Debian
packages use debconf, a configuration system that requires un-translatable
screen shots to configure services. However, some items still require
manually editing configuration files. Also, Debian receives minimal
readership compared to other distributions which reduces the return on
investment to maintain a system different from any other distribution. I
brought this issue up several weeks ago and thought we wanted to pursue
disabling debconf to make Debian mostly follow Ubuntu and therefore easier
to maintain. Any alternative installation processes using debconf and/or
automation would reside outside of the official installation guide. Did we
reach an agreement?
