Bug Description

Since swift 1.4, swauth was deprecated from the 'swift' package. However it's mentioned in all swift documentation and is the most complete authentication method at this time.

It's now available as a separate download from: https://github.com/gholt/swauth

Unfortunately, as keystone was not fully part of the Diablo release, we don't have a good authentication method for swift in Oneiric (tempauth is really not production worthy).

Could we get a package for this in oneiric-updates?

There is also many remnants of it in the 'swift' package:
/usr/share/man/man8/swauth-list.8.gz
/usr/share/man/man8/swauth-add-user.8.gz
/usr/share/man/man8/swauth-prep.8.gz
/usr/share/man/man8/swauth-delete-account.8.gz
/usr/share/man/man8/swauth-delete-user.8.gz
/usr/share/man/man8/swauth-add-account.8.gz
/usr/share/man/man8/swauth-set-account-service.8.gz
/usr/share/man/man8/swauth-cleanup-tokens.8.gz

This change removed swauth and put in the tempauth script:

I don't expect us to revert that, I just think we need swauth's package in the archive.
