Title:
  cloud-final is never executed if upstart is upgraded during
  initialization of the image

Status in “cloud-init” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “upstart” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  During a cloud image initialization, the service cloud-final is never
  executed if the cloud-config script contains an "upgrade" directive
  and upstart is part of the upgraded packages:

  TESTCASE:
  1. Download a cloud image from http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/raring/ with an outdated version of upstart (e.g 2013.01.23 - I saved this image, if you need it and it is not available from the mirror just ask)
  2. Prepare a cloud-config script with the directives (example cloud-config script used by lp:auto-package-testing attached):

  apt_update: true
  apt_upgrade: true

  3. Initialize the cloud image with this cloud-config script

  EXPECTED RESULT:
  Installation finish

  ACTUAL RESULT
  The service cloud-final is never executed and the flag boot-finished is not present.

  cloud-init logs of a failed installation attached.
