Whilst OpenStack is being developed, a lot of people's entry into OpenStack is through deb packages (or <insert your fave package management in here>) - therefore Ubuntu becomes unofficial (but vocal) PR to OpenStack.

When we view the pages of http://www.ubuntu.com/cloud there is little doubt that OpenStack is a 1st class citizen (Best-of-breed cloud infrastructure is built into every copy of Ubuntu).

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!
