[Bug 635188] Re: installing cloud-init on a non-ec2/UEC server results in a 20 minute boot wait

[Scott Moser]

A note on the way that this was "fixed".

 * in '0.6.0-0ubuntu2', the installation of cloud-init only searches OVF and NoCloud DataSources.  Neither of these have timeouts, and only look at local files.  In order to search EC2, the user would then have to run 'dpkg-reconfigure cloud-init'.  
  
  At 'low' priority there is a question 'cloud-init/datasources' that defaults to 'low' priority.  The UEC images will pre-seed that value to have Ec2 in it.

 * in subsequent releases, the first time the config is run, it will
make an attempt contact the ec2 metadata service.  If it can connect,
then it will enable the Ec2 DataSource.  If not, it will not.  That
covers the upgrade of 'cloud-init' on EC2 path.
