I don't know if this is a helpful remark at all, but the way cloud
images work is not that they have an ubuntu user set up in the image:
cloud-init creates the user account and it is called 'ubuntu' by
default. So maybe if you can supply cloud-init config when booting,
you can get the user to still be called that (it's the
system_info.default_user.name key I think).
