Nova has support for an /etc/nova/release file which, in Red Hat packaging, contains e.g.
[Nova]
vendor = Red Hat Inc.
product = OpenStack Nova
package = 1.el6

It would make sense for all projects to use this
One place this could live is pbr.
The only sticking point is we use ConfigOpts.
However, if you do e.g. --config-file /tmp/nova.conf it will also look in /tmp. It's this latter behaviour we'd lose by not using cfg, but it doesn't seem essential either.
