[Bug 1945023] Re: autoinstall/user-data/users block has no effect at all in live-server 20.04.3

[Dan Bungert]

For now, to get the behavior you want please move testuser to user-data.
Identity is not required if you're supplying user-data.

The merge of config today isn't sophisticated enough to do something
like merge the identity section user into user-data.

FWIW, the docs at https://ubuntu.com/server/docs/install/autoinstall-
reference look a bit misleading and make it sound like you'd get OK
results with both, but today you definitely want to send all your users
through user-data.

Bug description:
  I try to use user-data/users block as following to create additional
  user, however this does not work at all. After installation, only
  testuser exists but test123 does not exist.
