Public bug reported:

This bug was spurred by a conversation resulting from questions arising
from https://review.openstack.org/#/c/80741/:

http://paste.openstack.org/show/73678/

There are a number of places in Nova where a submodule depends on an
external library, but that external library is not (for various reasons)
in the global requirements file. Examples of these kind of external
"local dependencies" include:

* libvirt (used in nova.virt.libvirt)
* guestfs (used in nova.virt.disk.vfs.guestfs)
* evzookeeper, zookeeper, and evzookeeper.membership
* iboot (nova.virt.baremetal)

We should develop some documentation (in HACKING?) that discusses the
appropriate way to import these "local dependencies", and then ensure
each one in above list is done consistently.
