Flexible LAVA deployment
We need to improve application deployment. For that we want to minimize the time required to push now code to testing (staging) and production (either edge or normal) sites.

Whiteboard
[asac, Oct 25, 2011]: not milestoned blueprints and blueprints in the backlog must not be worked on except in spare time maybe. Please focus on what is important this month; PM/TL are the ones that coordinate the plan and align with linaro priority.
[zkrynicki, 2011-11-23]: Droping some tasks that are not sensible in practice (database snapshot takes too long), rollbacks == installing another requirements file with explicit versions. Migrations bite, sorry.
In general deployment is based on keeping _all_ the code inside virtualenv and using lava-dev-tool coupled with lp:lava-project to get all the right code. Actual hosting is done by apache with uwsgi and uwsgi server running our application. Restarting any of the production/
Note: this does not include edge deployment anymore, for simplicity it is being left out. This also affects deployment straight from bzr. It needs more consideration and work items to include in this already bigger bp.

Headline: LAVA deployment untangled from debian packaging, works across larger selection of systems
Acceptance: Production LAVA instance is deployed. Test instances work on lucid and oneiric. Scheduler and dispatcher confirmed to work.
