Sidestep the issue of this-and-that by saying

     * the host name of the database server (which must allow TCP
       connections from this machine);

Again "set  up" (when it's a verb).

OpenStack's still a lot less foggy than I expect from a cloud.

I'm not so keen on having three whole paragraphs of boilerplate.
Merge these two listing the various things it supports.  And two isn't
enough to be "a few"!  Reshuffle to put the longer list first.  That
compacts it down easily to just:

   OpenStack Compute, codenamed Nova, is a cloud computing fabric controller
   designed to be modular and easy to extend and adapt. In addition to its
   "native" OpenStack API, it also supports the Amazon EC2 API, and it supports
   many different database backends (including SQLite, MySQL, and PostgreSQL),
   hypervisors (KVM, Xen), and user directory systems (LDAP, SQL).

This package contains like stuff and whatever!  s/things/elements/

I'm not going to install any of them, thanks.

   This package equips a system to function as a compute node, running the
   virtual machines.

This is a .deb, and therefore not virtual (no, not even when I install
it on a virtual machine).

   This is a dependency package for compute nodes using LXC.

(I assume that's what it means, though I don't see any lxc package
dependencies...)

   or an XCP (Xen Cloud Platform) cloud using Xen API.

s/IPs/IP addresses/, make serial comma consistent, and give the "by"
phrase an actual passive verb to depend on.

Is "VLAN" the same as "VlanManager"?  If so you don't *change* the
flag to that value, since it's already the default.

   This package equips a system to function as a network node. This service is
   responsible for managing floating and fixed IP addresses, DHCP, bridging, and
   VLANs, and in some cases acts as a gateway. Different networking strategies
   can be accessed by setting the network_manager flag to FlatManager,
   FlatDHCPManager, or VlanManager (the default).

Grammar fix and s/aka./codenamed/

   This package contains a very simple S3-like object store. For production use,
   you should use OpenStack Storage, codenamed Swift.

Surplus spaces, overuse of use, and misspelled "publicly".

   This package provides the console server. This enables the use of consoles
   with XVP and XenServer. It is a publicly reachable component which proxies
   access to VNCs running on compute nodes.

It's "revoke" but "revocation".  This is turning into a tour of the
stupidest parts of English orthography.

Not "OpenStack Compute - plugin for the Xen Cloud Platform"?  I'll
assume it's a deliberate subtle shift of emphasis.

Likewise.

Again, sorry, it's "publicly".  XVP expands to Xen-VNC-Proxy, but it's
mostly just XVP™ so never mind.

Repetitive - surely it can at least be trimmed to:

(Not that I have any idea what that means...)

Okay.  But again trim a trailing blank line!

Description: OpenStack Compute network plugin for the Xen Cloud Platform
 OpenStack is a reliable cloud infrastructure. Its mission is to produce
 the ubiquitous cloud computing platform that will meet the needs of public
 and private cloud providers regardless of size, by being simple to implement
 and massively scalable.
 .
 OpenStack Compute, codenamed Nova, is a cloud computing fabric controller
 designed to be modular and easy to extend and adapt. In addition to its
 "native" OpenStack API, it also supports the Amazon EC2 API, and it supports
 many different database backends (including SQLite, MySQL, and PostgreSQL),
 hypervisors (KVM, Xen), and user directory systems (LDAP, SQL).
 .
 This package is to be installed on the server where you have installed your
 master Xen API server (see the xcp-xapi package), so that nova can remotely
 configure the network of your XCP servers.
