Description
Soon, hopefully, machines in various Moira clusters around campus will have "production", "proposed", and/or "development" values for the "apt-release" key in clusterinfo.
The Debathena installer script should somehow know about this field, and should use it to frob /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debathena.list appropriately at install time.
This allows us to test how a system handles being installed with the packages in -proposed (or -development).
This one is a little trickier than #163 because we don't have debathena-clusterinfo or debathena-getcluster installed when /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debathena.list is written.
It may be that we want to install debathena-getcluster, find out the clusterinfo, and then re-generate /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debathena.list, but even this seems slightly non-ideal, as for a small period packages will only be pulled from production.
