I've done basic testing on EC2. We will want to cherry-pick the
following change onto 20.1, if that's the version we want to get into
buster:
https://github.com/canonical/cloud-init/commit/4bc399e0cd0b7e9177f948aecd49f6b8323ff30b
I have tested that it cherry-picks cleanly, but left it out of the
20.1-1 upload for safety and simplicity. I expect to upload 20.1-2 with
that change around the time 20.1-1 reaches bullseye.

I've already updated the debian-cloud-images repository to explicitly
install cloud-guest-utils everywhere where we install cloud-init, and
have confirmed that the daily sid builds (with cloud-init 20.1) do have
cloud-guest-utils.
Since Recommends are installed by default in the default apt
configuration, I'd expect that most other users who are installing
cloud-init will not notice a difference.
