[Bug 1236361] [NEW] need new simple streams based maas-import-ephemerals

[Scott Moser]

Public bug reported:

As currently packaged in Ubuntu maas does not use the "new" import-ephemerals script.
As discussed http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2013/10/07/%23maas.html#t12:46 , this is pretty important to get in.

The reasons we need this in 13.10 (and thus Ubuntu cloud archive 'tools' pocket) are:
 a.) The current version does not "clean up"
      Because it doesn't delete old versions of the ephemeral images, updates on the server side will eventually consume all local disk space.  The fast path installer uses ephemeral images, we thus have a larger interest in updating these images frequently, so installed systems have all applied updates inside.
 b.) it fixes security bug 1039513
 c.) I believe it fixes bug 1031582.
