Sorry I was too vague:

I think that once we will have a cloud-init backport, it will be tempting to
build stable images with cloud-init pre-installed. I am not sure if the
current build-debian-cloud is able to create an image of Stable with the latest
backport of cloud-init, even if sources.list is modified as you indicated.
However, I think that it would be a very helpful feature.

To complicate things, cloud-init may be a special case as it will not be in
Wheezy, but otherwise if a package is both in stable and stable-backports,
the backport will not be selected by default and I do not think that debootstrap
is able to understand syntaxes such as "cloud-init/squeeze-backports".

Oh! I see. Well, you don't need to worry about that :-).

We can install things with apt-get if need be. The bootstrapper actually used to do that until I moved all of that into the debootstrap parameters. We simply place the installation task after the apt-upgrade task.

So to add to the code I previously posted we would just need:

insert_task_after $TASK_APT_UPGRADE $plugindir/cloud-init/install-cloud-init

And install-cloud-init would be:

apt-get install -t squeeze-backports cloud-init | spin # Avoid spamming stdout with spin
