IMHO,  we should be able to fail gracefully if some part of the sample
config generation fails.  Barbican isn't needed by default so I don't
think we should move it into requirements. This whole thing is yet
another manifestation of having optional dependencies and how to
represent that.

Title:
  dynamic nova.conf generation does not work without python-
  barbicanclient installed

Status in OpenStack Compute (Nova):
  Invalid
Status in OpenStack Compute (nova) kilo series:
  New
Status in Oslo configuration management library:
  New

Bug description:
  In gentoo we dynamically generate the docs (we also package stable
  branch releases that install from git).  This doesn't work unless
  python-barbicanclient is installed.

  What I would like to see is either a silent failure with that section
  of nova.conf removed or just add python-barbicanclient to requirements
  from test-requirements.  I understand that it is expected that example
  conf generation is expected to need test-requirements, but I don't
  agree :P

  Let me know if you need more info.
