Title:
  linux-cloud-tools missing from precise

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in “linux” source package in Precise:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  The Trusty Tahir Hardware Enablement Stack for Ubuntu 12.04 is
  available and being aggressively promoted to existing Ubuntu 12.04
  deployments running now End-of-Life Hardware Enablement Stacks.
  However, the linux-cloud-tools packages have not been made available
  to Precise users. This package was newly introduced in Trusty Tahir
  and contains "cloud specific" tooling associated with a given kernel
  version, separate from the general tools provided in the linux-tools
  packages. Right now, this package only contains Hyper-V specific
  daemons and utilities.

  The result of this is that on updating to the Trusty HWE the userspace hv-kvp-daemon Hyper-V daemon previously provided by the linux-tools packages is no longer present and will fail to start when the hv-kvp-daemon-init package attempts to do so:
  hv_kvp_daemon not available for kernel 3.13.0-30

  This is in my view a very serious issue as it risks potentially
  breaking Hyper-V deployments of Ubuntu 12.04 which have either updated
  to the Trusty HWE or will be installed via the 12.04.05 installation
  media (the latter has yet to be released). From my brief look at the
  packaging situation the linux-cloud-tools packages depend on a newer
  version of sysv-rc than is currently available for 12.04, though, this
  is the only unmet dependency and I'm unsure if the newer sysv-rc is
  technically required or was just pinned against the release that
  Ubuntu 14.04 shipped with.
