  This approach seems simpler, and I've got a working prototype here.
Since it involves the shared pgkos_func script, I'll have to check
whether it also requires changes to other packages (beyond nova) before
I commit, but I think this is promising after a not-very-interactive
installation:

,----
| root at os-mgmt:~# nova-manage service list
| Binary           Host                                 Zone             Status     State Updated_At
| nova-cert        os-node1                             nova             enabled    :-)   None      
| nova-compute     os-node1                             nova             enabled    :-)   None      
| nova-network     os-node1                             nova             enabled    :-)   None      
| nova-cert        os-mgmt                              nova             enabled    :-)   2012-11-14 16:43:11.850629
| nova-scheduler   os-mgmt                              nova             enabled    :-)   2012-11-14 16:43:11.876556

(And similar results from os-node1, the "compute" node.)
