Note that these two directories must be the same on all nodes, so
debconf doesn't really make sense as users could choose different paths
on different nodes.

It would be better if these two would be cluster-wide properties, chosen
at initialization time, and stores via the ssconf module. This would
need a ganeti patch, but that's not a problem.
