  running 'dpkg-reconfigure cloud-init' shows an issue.

-  check some boxes (including anything after MAAS)
-  notice that:
-    * debconf complains :
-       Use of uninitialized value in list assignment at /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/Element/Multiselect.pm line 12
-    * /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg.d/90_dpkg.cfg does not have all datasources in it.
