IMO, the overview is far than enough. Having the relevant xe commands
that would do the setup in a nice tutorial is IMO mandatory for such
setup to be attractive.

I wrote it before, and I will write it again: a shell script is not, and
will never replace, a documentation. What you need to do is write enough
documentation so that an experienced admin can write his own script, not
the other way around! So please write a decent tutorial.

Please go ahead, I'd be happy to add some of it in the README.Debian for
XCP + Openstack.
