Comment:

 i want to tackle this. i think we're pretty close with the ganeti stuff
 and the half-assed installer I wrote, but i would maybe like to make a
 spec on how to phase out and replace, or improve the latter. maybe our
 installer could be formally released as a standalone thing, if only to get
 feedback from the community and provoke some discussion and maybe
 something better. right now, Debian is still working on the debian-
 installer distribution (for servers) and calamares (for desktop), none of
 which are a good fit for our environment.

 as far as VMs are concerned, the non-ganeti installers should be
 progressively phased out as we migrate everything into ganeti cluster(s),
 so that is probably a non-issue. there was a bug with the ganeti installer
 (#31781) but that should (eventually) be fixed upstream or in puppet.
