Keep an eye on upgrade from one stable to another stable debian release.
currently (and probably in the future too), openstack only supports
incremental upgrade from one
OS release to the next (n+1).
Looking at the current debian release cycle you probably have os n in
stable and os n+x (beeing x >1) in the next stable debian release.
Which makes upgrades impossible.

I do not have a solution for this problem but I think it's worth
thinking about.
I see two possible ways to solve
- accept, (and document) that openstack upgrades are not possible in debian
- have the intermediat openstack releases as sort of unsupported, use
for upgrade only, packages available (eg. as snapshots ?) (but this
means you need all branches)

Best regards

Benedikt
