New description:
right now, installing machines is mostly a manual, or semi-manual process:
we install debian, preferably with crypto, and then do stuff on top.
some of it is done by hand, some is done in puppet.
we should have a standardized install process that gives us a
reproducable, identical install across platforms. then Puppet is what
customizes the machine on top of that.
this ticket aims at documenting what we already have and where we could
possibly go. this is one of the question we answered "no" on in the "ops
questionnaire" in #30881. see also the automated upgrade part in #31957.
When we started this work, the installer had this many manual steps:
* new-machine (common trunk): 14 steps
* new-machine-hetzner-robot: +43 steps (57 total)
* new-machine-hetzner-cloud: +21 steps (35 total)

Comment (by anarcat):
Document how many steps we had when we drew the diagrams:

Now we're at:
* new-machine (common trunk): 13 steps (3 steps possibly obsolete, 4 more
being worked on)
* new-machine-hetzner-robot: +25 steps left (38 total)
* new-machine-hetzner-cloud: +21 steps (35 total, unchanged, needs to
merge with setup-storage process)
i.e. we have eliminated a whopping 19 steps, most of which through the
setup-storage refactoring.
