We're planning on changing the docs to offer a quick-install quide, focused
around ceph-deploy, and a long-install guide which goes through all the
changes in more detail. The latter should help users wanting to customize
puppet/chef scripts etc

NB mkcephfs is deprecated now. It was just a shell script and interacted
with the same commands that ceph-deploy now does.
