Public bug reported:

In nova/conf/paths.py, I can read:

path_opts = [
    cfg.StrOpt('pybasedir',
               default=os.path.abspath(os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__),
                                                    '../../')),
               help='Directory where the nova python module is installed'),

This means that, wherever nova source code is installed to generate
nova.conf is going to be the default value for pybasedir. This has all
the chances in the world to be a wrong value. For example, if building
from /home/zigo/sources/mitaka/nova/nova, we end up with:

# Directory where the nova python module is installed (string value)
#pybasedir = /home/zigo/sources/openstack/mitaka/nova/build-area/nova-13.0.0/debian/tmp/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages

instead of:
#pybasedir = /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages

Unfortunately, this ends up in the package.
