Title:
  support running apt with eatmydata

Status in Init scripts for use on cloud images:
  Confirmed
Status in “cloud-init” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  During instance boot, cloud-init installs packages (if instructed by the user).
  During instance boot, there is no state of the system that the user cares about.

  I'd like to use eatmydata for apt-get install at that point, as it is
  dramatically faster than apt-get even with --force-unsafe-io.

  From an ubuntu perspective, this change would mean:
   a.) depending on (or recommending) eatmydata
   b.) MIR for eatmydata
   c.) fixing eatmydata's relationship with sysvinit scripts.  The thing to fix there is that if you 'eatmydata apt-get install some-service' and some-service starts a daemon, the daemon will inherit the LD_PRELOAD which is most likely not desired. (bug 1257036)

  Related bugs:
   * bug 1257036:  services started with eatmydata should remove eatmydata by default
