I would like to discuss that part with Steve McIntyre, but it sounds
doable, maybe not for the first round of publishing though.

I would suggest we open a seperate thread on the debian-cloud mailing
list for defining a list of official requirements for all vendors. As
long as we define the first version of that list i would suggest though
that those are nice to have for the Azure (and all other) images but
will not block us from releasing the images.
Cheers,
Martin
