Title:
  Upstart scripts to use /etc/default for options.

Status in nova package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Upstart scripts currently specify command line options for nova
  programs:

  $ tail -n 1 /etc/init/nova-compute.conf
  exec start-stop-daemon --start --chuid nova --exec /usr/bin/nova-compute -- --config-file=/etc/nova/nova.conf --config-file=/etc/nova/nova-compute.conf

  Specifying --config-file to these programs asserts that Openstack's
  config package Oslo should not perform directory searching for
  configs.

  The expected behavior would be to put these lines into an /etc/default
  /nova-XXX file. That way, other options could also be passed to the
  commands without having to directly edit the file in /etc/init.
  Alternatively, just removing the --config-path options would be OK
  because Oslo can find config files all over.

  Oslo lets you provide per-program configs instead of one gigantic
  nova.conf which can be very helpful (think of the way ubuntu packages
  apache configs).
