Nice to see interest in getting oVirt on Debian! I'm adding Milan Zamal who
was looking into getting vdsm running on Debian.

Please note that otopi is not supporting Debian yet.
It's missing support for the packaging system used by Debian. It currently
support only yum and dnf package managers.
Being ovirt-host-deploy and ovirt-setup-lib depending on otopi, you'll need
to work on otopi code first.

I would suggest to get in touch with Wildfly community about having wildfly
packaged for Debian.
