Argh, I didn't realise there would be a warning if the file was missing.

Debian Policy forbids us from altering the contents of a conffile from
maintainer scripts, so we can't append to nova.conf when nova-compute
gets installed.

I suggest we either a --optional-flagfile that doesn't warn or perhaps
make it so that "--flagfile=@/some/path" silently ignores /some/path's
absence.
