Public bug reported:

The existing cloud-init code determines if systemd is in use by looking
at the distribution name and version.  This is prone to error because:

- RHEL derivatives other than CentOS (e.g., Scientific Linux) will fail this test, and
- Distributions that are not derived from RHEL also use systemd

** Affects: cloud-init
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New
