CloudStack created 7 Debian Package instead of 16, why?

Question

To install cloudstack I use this installation guide. While building deb package, it says

This command will build 16 Debian packages. You should have all of the following, but I have only 7 of them:

   cloud-agent_4.0.0-incubating_amd64.deb   
   cloud-agent-deps_4.0.0-incubating_amd64.deb   
   cloud-agent-libs_4.0.0-incubating_amd64.deb   
   cloud-awsapi_4.0.0-incubating_amd64.deb   
   cloud-cli_4.0.0-incubating_amd64.deb   
   cloud-client_4.0.0-incubating_amd64.deb   
   cloud-client-ui_4.0.0-incubating_amd64.deb   
   cloud-core_4.0.0-incubating_amd64.deb   
   cloud-deps_4.0.0-incubating_amd64.deb   
   cloud-python_4.0.0-incubating_amd64.deb   
   cloud-scripts_4.0.0-incubating_amd64.deb   
   cloud-server_4.0.0-incubating_amd64.deb   
   cloud-setup_4.0.0-incubating_amd64.deb   
   cloud-system-iso_4.0.0-incubating_amd64.deb   
   cloud-usage_4.0.0-incubating_amd64.deb   
   cloud-utils_4.0.0-incubating_amd64.deb

What is the reason? (In 4.1.1 version it says there must be 7 deb package, but in 4.2.0 it says 16.. It can be a mistake about CloudStack Guide?)

Answer 1

In version 4.2, there are only 7 .deb packages.

How do we know?

Each package's name appears in ./debian/control of the source tree. E.g.

Package: cloudstack-common
Architecture: all
Depends: bash, genisoimage, nfs-common
Conflicts: cloud-scripts, cloud-utils, cloud-system-iso, cloud-console-proxy, cloud-daemonize, cloud-deps, cloud-python, cloud-setup
Description: A common package which contains files which are shared by several CloudStack packages

If you look at the history of this file, you can see that the number of packages has reduced over time. For example, in version 4.0 there are 16 packages listed.
