That's the plan, I just haven't gotten around to it yet. I'll be
working on grub installation, partitioning and extlinux today.
I think the scripts should still be the default since installing
cloud-init requires backports to be added. What do you think?

For the moment yes, but we need to think of the future. Furthermore could-init contains lots of useful init scripts and experience we should rely on.
