openstack-dashboard should not write to /etc/openstack-dashboard

[James Page]

The horizon codebase contains code which generates and stores a secret key on disk if one is not supplied in local_settings.py.

This needs to not be /etc/openstack-dashboard/secret_key - /var/lib/openstack-dashboard should be more appriopriate with write permissions for www-data.

Right now the dashboard just errors out due to lack to write permissions to /etc/openstack-dashboard.

This bug was fixed in the package horizon - 1:2013.2~b3-0ubuntu2

---------------
horizon (1:2013.2~b3-0ubuntu2) saucy; urgency=low

  * Don't use /etc/openstack-dashboard for in-process generated data
    (LP: #1233752):
    - d/openstack-dashboard.{dirs,postinst}:
      + Create /var/lib/openstack-dashboard with restricted permissions,
        allowing www-data user to write a secret_key if need be.
      + Move /etc/openstack-dashboard/secret_key to correct location if
        it already exists.
    - d/p/ubuntu_settings.patch: Use /var/lib/openstack-dashboard for
      secret key storage instead of /etc/openstack-dashboard.
