👍, thanks.

This is fixed upstream in 21.1, though many other changes are included.  I
didn't look through the list carefully.  The fix for this particular bug is
trivial, I staged it here:
 https://salsa.debian.org/rvandegrift/cloud-init/-/tree/debian/bullseye

Either a targeted fix or a new upstream release will need to wait for a stable
update at this point.
