Forgot to explain that...

If you do:
-include <bla>

then if <bla> can't be found, then make simply ignore it. So we get
pkgos.make with the gen-orig-xz target *only* if we have the
openstack-pkg-tools installed, which is nice in our case (because
strictly speaking, we don't need it to build, but it is convenient in
order to generate the orig.tar.xz file).

Cheers,
