Title:
  installing cloud init in vmware breaks ubuntu user

Status in cloud-init:
  Fix Released
Status in cloud-init package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in cloud-init source package in Xenial:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  When installing cloud-init in vmware without any setup for user/vendor
  data it breaks the ubuntu user.

  Steps to reproduce:
  1. take vmwre (free 30 days is fine)
  2. install xenial (maybe newer as well but my case was xenial)
  3. set up your user to be ubuntu/ubuntu (through the vmware fast installer)
  # you now have a working system
  # no user/vendor data provider was set up (unless vmware did some internally)
  4. install cloud-init
  5. reboot
  # on reboot I see the cloud init vmware data gatherer timing out (fine as expected)
  # But after that I can't login anymore, so it seems it changed the user

  This came up in debugging another issue - so there is a chance I
  messed the service dependencies up enough to trigger this :-/ (we need
  to check that)

  Sorry, this sucks at getting logs and since I can't login anymore ...
  I'll have to setup a new system with a second user to use to take a look.
