Comment 4 for bug 770482

I did some work on this when playing with Orchestra.

lp:~clint-fewbar/ensemble/orchestra-provider/debian has some changes which
build two packages:

ensemble-machine-agent

and

ensemble-provision-agent

They are (at least, in theory) pre-seedable, allowing us to set the
machine_id, zookeeper addresses, etc, before installing the package
(or as part of a reconfiguration step), and then the upstart jobs are
managed just like usual upstart services. ensemble-provision-agent
starts on started ensemble-machine-agent, which starts on runlevel 2345
(basically "when the system is ready to do network stuff").

I'll do more to split this into a branch to fix this bug next week.
