In order to run calico as a cni component for kubernetes, we need to build it and deploy it on all kubernetes nodes (both the workers and the master).

This includes building a container called calico/node and building calicoctl.

While for calicoctl it could be feasible to be built into a debian package, doing the same for what runs inside calico/node is probably not needed at this point.

What we should make sure of anyways is that calico/node at least runs from a container built on our infrastructure and that uses our own base images.

This can be done at different levels of cleanliness as at the moment the make process for calico/node requires the following external resources:

• Downloads the calico/felix container and extracts the binaries present under /code there
• Downloads confd, bird, bird6, birdcl, calico-bgp-daemon from calico's releases on github
• Downloads the calico/libnetwork-plugin container and extracts libnetwork-plugin from it
• Downloads the calico/build container and uses it to set up and install some python binaries (under /code in there)

Depending on how much time I do have, I could get to the point of importing and regenerating all containers in this list, and find a cleaner way to get said binaries into our Docker build environment. The bare minimum is basing the calico/node container on debian jessie.
