Comment 4 for bug 709187

No, it's not ignored by setup.py but tools/ is not installed in the Ubuntu packaging.

however there still is an issue in nova itself, I think: code is calling
'%s/tools/ajaxterm/ajaxterm.py --command "%s" -t %s -p %s' % (utils.novadir(), ajaxterm_cmd, token, port)

This is valid when running from the tarball or the branch but does not degrade gracefully when you explode the package in FHS locations (ends up looking for the tools directory under /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/tools).
