Title:
  Open vSwitch and Linux bridge agent dependencies

Status in neutron package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  In Liberty, the Open vSwitch and Linux bridge agents use the following
  separate configuration files:

  /etc/neutron/plugins/ml2/openvswitch_agent.ini
  /etc/neutron/plugins/ml2/linuxbridge_agent.ini

  The neutron-plugin-openvswitch-agent and neutron-plugin-linuxbridge-
  agent packages depend on the neutron-plugin-ml2 package that contains
  these files. However, only the neutron-server component (typically on
  the controller node) actually uses the ML2 plug-in and loads ML2
  configuration from the ml2_conf.ini file. Other neutron components
  should not use the ml2_conf.ini file, yet the init scripts for the
  Open vSwitch and Linux bridge agents load it in addition to their
  separate configuration files. The neutron-plugin-openvswitch-agent and
  neutron-plugin-linuxbridge-agent packages should probably include
  their separate configuration files instead of the neutron-plugin-ml2
  package.

  Also, on a somewhat similar note, the neutron-plugin-ml2 package seems
  to only contain configuration files for the ML2 plug-in. The python-
  neutron package (a dependency of the neutron-common package) includes
  the actual code for it which means all installations of neutron
  include the ML2 plug-in even if they don't use it.
