Upgrade will be smooth and transparent. This month the release will
include lava-core. Several existing projects will be converted to empty
transitional packages that simply depend on the new component without
providing any code themselves.

I will do my best for everyone not to notice anything changed ;-)

Lava deployment tool will work as before. Apt-get is a separate topic.

For the moment yes, lava-deployment-tool + pip is our primary method of
installation.

Even if we provide apt-get based installation method it is still useful
to have virtualenvs with multiple installations for testing and
development. I'll post my apt plans later this week.
