+1, this is totally up to the distro to takes care of those things.

Talking about packaging and middlewares, it would be nice if the
packagers could do a split of the middlewares from a main project.

For example in keystone the auth_token middleware is located in the
python-keystone package for Ubuntu[1] it would be much nicer if this
is splitted to its own package like python-keystone-auth-token and
avoid end-user confusion like "why do I need to install the full
keystone[2] to get Nova/Swift/Glance+KeystoneAuth working"

I am not sure what's the process to get this forward, should I just
report a bug against Fedora/Ubuntu package and attach a patch for the
.spec, debian/control in there ?

Thanks,
Chmouel.
