[ovirt-devel] Where should the answer file for the improved HE flow be located?

Hey,

lately we had the issue that the answer file for the engine in the HE
flow changed (it required an additional answer).

Currently the answerfile is maintained by node in the engine appliance.

I wonder if it wouldn't make more sense to keep the answer file (which
is solely used for the HE flow) could be maintained inside the
hosted-engine-setup repository, and be packaged in a subpackage (i.e.
hosted-engine-setup-answers[-3.6]).

Another thought is that the HE-setup cloud-init is already referencing
the engine answerfile, if it was matained in the same package, then it
should also be easier to ensure that the assumed and real paths of the
answerfile match.

So, if the answerfile was in that subpackage of HE-setup, we could
just install that specific package inside the appliance, and the rest
is left to the HE-setup logic.

Thoughts?
