Bug description:
  === Begin SRU Information ===
  [Impact]
   * if a user passes in cloud-config containing 'system_info', these changes
     do not get applied.  The biggest fallout of this is that
     the user cannot change the mirrors that are present in the built
     in config.

  [Test Case]
   * Launch an instance with user-data containing:
     #cloud-config
     system_info:
      package_mirrors:
       - arches: [i386, amd64]
         failsafe:
           primary: http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu
         search:
           primary:
             - http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu
   * verify that mirror 'us.archive.ubuntu.com' is not used in
     /etc/apt/sources.list as it should be.

  [Regression Potential]
   * The editing of system_info is broken.  This is unlikely to make
     the situation worse.

  === End SRU Information ===

  
  After cloud-init consumes its userdata, it continues using the initial userdata/system config and distro objects, and does not force them to be reloaded so modules about to be ran (or modules which will use the distro) will reflect this new data. After the program exits and the next 'stage' runs that stage though does reload the configuration correctly. It needs to be fixed for the init stage.
