Have you compared it to:
https://github.com/enovance/edeploy

which has nice role-based system, so you can deploy specific systems
depending on what type of hardware (amount of RAM, number of HDD, or
anything else you decide)...

It's been a long time I was thinking about packaging edeploy, but never
found the time to do it. It has a Makefile, but IMO, one would better
write a setup.py for it.

Your thoughts?
