The bulk of the Ceph packaging is server side only. The main component which creates the client dependencies is the librbd package, which can be held in other repos alongside specific versions of Xen, Qemu, KVM etc. With the RHEL-OSP/RHEV3.3-based code for qemu, there is explicit dynamic loading of the library too so it doesn't need to be at build time either so that might give more flexible around cloud repo code.
