That is indeed simple for packages, but devstack case we install packages from shellscript: https://github.com/openstack-dev/devstack/blob/1c13be860ba3662bf6c633fc37668f7feacdd3e5/lib/nova_plugins/functions-libvirt#L27 The workaround is probably to add an "if debian && newer than jessie, install these instead" but it's not exactly pretty. Then again installer scripts often aren't. Riku
