And ditto for Cinder as well since yesterday night.

This sounds really cool.
Few thoughts about what we could also write:
I think it's a very good idea to have a scripted install with preseeds,
like Roland wrote (please share that in the openstack-auto-builder git
repo), so we can check that everything installs ok. It would be even
more awesome to have yet another script that checks that everything is
working, uploading a VM image in Glance, creating a nova network,
starting a VM and mount a Cinder volume on it.
I also think it'd be fun to write some meta packages, like
"openstack-proxy-node", and "openstack-compute-node". Such meta packages
could also hold scripts to register services in Keystone (keystone
service-create and keystone endpoint-create calls). Bonus point if it
supports regions and cells... :)
BFN,
