Public bug reported:

The files in etc/metadefs in the Glance repository are not included in
either the tarball or wheel when one runs

    python setup.py sdist bdist_wheel

These should be included by default and installed so they can be used.
Since wheels should not be allowed to write to paths outside of the
directory the package is installed in,

    glance-manage db_load_metadefs

Should also look in the installed directory path for etc/metadefs when
loading them.

This is a problem in every version of Glance that was meant to include
those metadata definitions. Since this does not prevent functionality
from working (since a user could download the files to /etc/metadefs and
run the command), I do not think this has backport potential.
