Hi,
Yes, I know what the user data are. The user data contains the hostname
and ssh keys, as I wrote above, which did work for me with the version
in Debian 0.7.2-1. Which is why I don't understand why you are saying
that it didn't work.

Do you know what
- cloud-init init --local
- cloud-init modules --mode=config
- cloud-init modules --mode=final
are doing? I think it would be a nice thing to document this in a much
bigger long description of the init script. I may try to do my own
search, but if someone has the explanation handy, that might save my
time. It also appears that there are even more upstart scripts.
Thoughts anyone?

I have already applied this patch to the packaging, though I wont commit
and upload the fix before I have more explanations, and I can add a bit
of comments in the long descriptions of the init scripts. Also, probably
having a single init script rather than 4 would be a better idea
(starting cloud-init with the needed options in a single script seems
like an easy thing to do).
