not be fixed for that specific release.

Bug description:
  [ Impact ]

  In certain situations (consistently with ubuntu-pro=31.2 and cloud-
  init=23.4.4), cloud-config.service has not completed before google-
  startup-scripts.service runs.  This can cause startup scripts that
  rely on apt to fail, as cloud-init is responsible for reconfiguring
  sources.list to point at the GCE archives.

  Since pro and cloud-init are backported to all older releases, this
  bug will affect them too.

  The change that results in this race condition is the removal an
  ordering condition between pro and cloud-init, so adding `After=cloud-
  final.service` to google-startup-scripts.service should ensure that
  the startup scripts are correctly run regardless of the ordering (or
  lack thereof) between other services.

  [ Test Plan ]

  To reproduce:

  Using startup_script.sh:
  #!/bin/bash
  cp /etc/apt/sources.list /tmp/startup-sources.list

  $ gcloud compute instances create startup-test --image daily-ubuntu-2204-jammy-v20240314 --image-project ubuntu-os-cloud-devel --metadata-from-file=startup-script=startup_script.sh
  [...]
  $ ssh [INSTANCE IP]
  > diff /tmp/startup-sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list
  0a1,8
  > ## Note, this file is written by cloud-init on first boot of an instance
  > ## modifications made here will not survive a re-bundle.
  > ## if you wish to make changes you can:
  > ## a.) add 'apt_preserve_sources_list: true' to /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg
  > ##     or do the same in user-data
  > ## b.) add sources in /etc/apt/sources.list.d
  > ## c.) make changes to template file /etc/cloud/templates/sources.list.tmpl

  Since this bug particularly effects first boot (once sources.list is
  configured with the GCE mirrors on first boot it will remain correctly
  configured), the best way to test that fix is correctly created will
  be to create an image with pro pinned at 31.2, cloud-init pinned at
  23.4.4, and google-guest-agent install from proposed.  The test would
  be:

  1. Create an instance with startup script as above
  $ gcloud compute instances create startup-test --image [IMAGE_NAME] --image-project [IMAGE PROJECT] --metadata-from-file=startup-script=startup_script.sh

  2. SSH into the instance and verify pro/cloud-init/google-guest-agent versions/source
  > pro --version
  32.1~[RELEASE]
  > cloud-init --version
  /usr/bin/cloud-init 23.4.4-0ubuntu0~[RELEASE]
  > apt-cache policy google-guest-agent
  [ensure from -proposed]

  3. Verify startup script ran correctly after cloud-config.service.
  > diff /tmp/startup-sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list
  >

  [ Where problems could occur ]

  Since this introduces a new ordering constraint, it will likely have
  performance impacts (google-startup-scripts will run later).  This
  seems preferable to breaking a subset of startup scripts in some
  situations; it is not uncommon to use startup scripts to install
  packages so it's important for the mirrors to be correctly configured.

  [ Other Info ]

  Original bug report retained below.

  New GCP dailies are failing startup-script tests, due to configuration
  via cloud-init not being fully completed, apt sources for example,
  when startup scripts are run.  The failure can be reproduced as
  follows:

  Using startup_script.sh:
  #!/bin/bash
  cp /etc/apt/sources.list /tmp/startup-sources.list

  $ gcloud compute instances create startup-test --image daily-ubuntu-2204-jammy-v20240314 --image-project ubuntu-os-cloud-devel --metadata-from-file=startup-script=startup_script.sh
  [...]
  $ ssh [INSTANCE IP]
  > diff /tmp/startup-sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list

  > ## Note, this file is written by cloud-init on first boot of an instance
  > ## modifications made here will not survive a re-bundle.
  > ## if you wish to make changes you can:

  On earlier images (such as ubuntu-2204-jammy-v20240307 in ubuntu-os-
  cloud) do not show this behaviour.  The change is due to a change in
  ubuntu-pro 31 (see https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-pro-
  client/blob/dfe1f1ed4678c50240d4e251f41d33bb4034135e/debian/changelog#L40
  for details) that removes a systemd ordering on cloud-config.service.
  As side effect of this change was the removal of cloud-config.service
  (and ubuntu-advantage.service) from systemd's critical chain.

  The time the unit took to start is printed after the "+" character.

  This can be fixed by adding an explict `After=cloud-config.service` to
  the google-startup-scripts.service file, which enforces the correct
  ordering between google-startup-scripts and cloud-init.
