Hi Alvaro- This is run in the post-installation step of the nova-common package, which is installed with nova-compute-xen. It is the expected behavior and happens to help users who want to install all nova components on a single node and have something ready to use out-of-the-box. Note that this command is only called when nova.conf's sql_connection points to a local sqlite database (which it does with the default config). If you've installed a compute package on an isolated node, you've probably also updated your config to point to a remote, shared database. If that is the case, and you've elected to keep your custom config file during the next package installation/upgrade, the call to nova db sync is skipped.
