Most of the flavor, sha1, tag etc. selection logic as implemented in the
packaging module of teuthology relies on remote hosts. This is complex
to tests and inconvenient because hosts must be provisionned even before
trying to figure out which packages need to be installed.
Using remote hosts is necessary when bare metal targets are used because
teuthology must adapt to the operating system already installed. The
selection logic in the context of dynamically provisionned targets is
simpler because it is defined by the job being run.
The buildpackages is refactored to use only the job configuration to
figure out which packages must be built. It makes it specific to targets
that are dynamically provisionned. It would have to be modified to query
the remote host in the case of bare metal targets.

A clone of Ceph is not automagically updated with the tags from the
official Ceph repository. For a pull request based on master, git
describe will use whatever tags existed at the time the clone was made,
unless the author pull them from the official Ceph repository and later
git push --tags them.
The output of git describe is used to name the packages and if the
official tags are not present, the packages will be incorrectly
named. For instance instead of 9.0.3-34 the packages could be named
0.87-8433 because the v0.87 tag is the most recent tag in the
repository. That confuses the install task that will fail with:
'ceph version 0.87 was not installed, found 9.0.3.'

Prior to v0.80.9, autogen.sh did not get submodules. Copy/paste the
submodule initialization from newer autogen.sh in common.sh so that
v0.80.8 and below can be rebuilt from sources. It does not hurt to
update the submodules twice.

Instead of relying on git_base_url, use the get_ceph_git_url() to obtain
the URL of the Ceph repository to use with git clone. This allows the
user to override it via the git_ceph_url configuration option and the
--git-ceph-url command line option to teuthology-openstack.
