Thank you.

It's rather unexpected, but I'll take this in account for next 
installation. I'm not a big fan of ubuntu maintanance policy (they 
basically dropped it 2 month prior announced date), and I prefer use of 
debian where possible. Now I see it's ok with openstack too, and it's 
good. I think is some kind of implicit FUD, because I was absolutely 
sure that Canonical/RH packaging and Debian is far in the tail of the 
process. It is not true and I'm happy.

Nope. I've only done stuff with debian-jenkins-glue. But I have some 
experience on backporting patches from icehouse to havana (it still in 
production and still need fixes). I can research/fix something specific 
and local.
