That's not mine, that's the one of Ubuntu guys, I just didn't change it
yet. I hope it will still be the same though.
You can pull my branch from here:
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~thomas-goirand/nova/debian/
My package is lintian clean (the Ubuntu package, really, is not), but
there are still issues in my Debian packaging, like nova-instancemonitor
not starting (I think I have to review the init.d script again for that
one). But generally, it does work quite well, instances start within
less than 10 seconds on my test server.
There's going to be more work needed for packaging both Swift and
Glance, these aren't ready at all yet.

Replied more extensively privately to that one. But in short: my patches
were not pulled, and I hope to get more feedback and reactivity from
upstream packagers in the future. It hasn't been great so far, most
probably due to the fact they were busy doing the Cactus release.
