Hi Lorin,

I had a look at a Ubuntu installation and the package install scripts do not 

configure neutron-ovs-cleanup to run at boot time. 

OVS
 has its own database, and at boot it recreates any internal interfaces 

(qr-, qg- and dhcp taps) in the root namespace. The l3 and dhcp 
agents don't 

seem to have a problem with that. They create their 
namespaces and move the 

interfaces into them and ensure the mac addresses are correct.

I think neutron-ovs-cleanup is only needed if you are not using network 

namespaces. But I don't know why you would want to do that as Ubuntu Precise
always had namespace support.

Regards,
Darragh.
