Title:
  NoCloud source broken in Trusty cloud images

Status in Init scripts for use on cloud images:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  I have a test script that verifies virtualization is working
  correctly, it does so by downloading and booting a cloud image (as the
  main use case is verification of cloud infrastructure). Since I just
  care about correctly booting the VM, I don't need to connect to an
  actual cloud controller or anything, so my script just builds a
  noCloud source with a basic config file that just uses runcmd and
  final_message to give me something in the logs to grep for, to ensure
  the VM initialized correctly.

  This script started failing with trusty cloud images recently :( I
  noticed because the text I grep for wasn't being found, which means
  the config isn't being read correctly.

  
  Steps to reproduce:

  I came up with a script that can be run (assuming a proper qemu setup).
  This is very heavily inspired in doc/sources/nocloud/README.rst which has a similar example.

  #Download the image
  IMAGE=trusty-server-cloudimg-i386-disk1.img
  wget -c http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/trusty/current/$IMAGE
  # Create a seed.iso per doc/sources/nocloud/README.rst
  { echo instance-id: iid-local01; echo local-hostname: cloudimg; } > meta-data
  printf "#cloud-config\npassword: passw0rd\nchpasswd: { expire: False }\nssh_pwauth: True\n" > user-data
  # Two additional tests to ensure these parameters are considered
  printf "\n\nruncmd:\n - [sh, -c, echo ' ==== I WILL NOT SEE THIS ==== ' >/tmp/runcmd.txt ]\n" >> user-data
  printf "\n\nfinal_message: FINAL MESSAGE\n" >> user-data
  genisoimage  -output seed.iso -volid cidata -joliet -rock user-data meta-data

  # Create qcow image to boot, per the same README file
  qemu-img create -f qcow2 -b $IMAGE boot-disk.img

  # Boot the image, also per the README
  kvm -m 256 \
   -drive file=boot-disk.img,if=virtio \
   -drive file=seed.iso,if=virtio, \
   -net nic -net user,hostfwd=tcp::2222-:22 \

  
  Expected result: (This was verified with a saucy cloud image):
  - The node boots and leaves me at the ubuntu login: prompt.
  - Logging in with ubuntu/passw0rd works
  - /tmp/runcmd.txt exists and contains I WILL NOT SEE THIS
  - grep FINAL /var/log/cloud-init.log returns a match in that file.

  Actual result:
  - The node takes much longer to boot than the saucy one.
  - Unable to login with ubuntu/passw0rd (suggesting the configuration wasn't loaded)
  - No /tmp/runcmd.txt
  - No FINAL text in /var/log/cloud-init.log
  - The final two items were determined by shutting down the VM and mounting the .img file for manual review.
