Kevin-

As someone who helps maintain the Ubuntu packages, I'm curious to know 
when/what/where the problems you've hit installing packages. Do/did bug 
#s exist?  Can you please file bugs when you hit them?  We've been 
making an extra effort to ensure that the Openstack packages on 
archive.ubuntu.com are *at least* installable without error at any given 
time.  Packaging bugs have slipped through into our weekly uploads, but 
we've been either catching them early or responding to any new relevant 
bug reports, and doing point uploads with fixes ASAP so things are 
installable until the next weekly upload.

I ask  anyone that is running into packaging problems: Please file bugs 
against the Ubuntu packages if you find they are failing to install.  
They *will* get fixed!
