Please try putting the following file on host:

/etc/ovirt-host-deploy.conf.d/10-ubuntu.conf
---
ODEPLOY/offlinePackager=bool:True
---

This will replace the disable section of packaging in your patch.
It will make host-deploy not to install any package and assume all is pre-installed.

This is not happening any more at 3.3, so no need to change anything.

I think that in 3.3 with the above offline packaging use, you can use vanilla otopi/host-deploy.

Alon Bar-Lev
