[Bug 1236531] Re: support running apt with eatmydata

[Scott Moser]

** Description changed:

  During instance boot, cloud-init installs packages (if instructed by the user).
  During instance boot, there is no state of the system that the user cares about.
  
  I'd like to use eatmydata for apt-get install at that point, as it is
  dramatically faster than apt-get even with --force-unsafe-io.
  
  From an ubuntu perspective, this change would mean:
-  a.) depending on eatmydata
-  b.) MIR for eatmydata
-  c.) fixing eatmydata's relationship with sysvinit scripts.  The thing to fix there is that if you 'eatmydata apt-get install some-service' and some-service starts a daemon, the daemon will inherit the LD_PRELOAD which is most likely not desired.
