I'll give a generic answer to start:

- We shouldn't feel obligated to do things the same way they have been
done, so definitely let's talk through the pain points and improve our
packaging workflow.

- It *is* helpful if we do things consistently across all the OpenStack
packages, both for new people coming in, and for our own sanity in
sharing the work. So, as we find a better way to do things for some
packages, let's change the way we do things for all the packages.

I've been working on setting up permissions to do this myself, and
hopefully will have that today or tomorrow. But, I'm guessing you don't
need the full set of repos to start working on Swift, so if you let me
know what you need in addition to the openstack/deb-swift repo, I can
ask Infra to set those few up for us directly.
