Public bug reported:

Given the following user-data:

  #cloud-config
  merge_how: 'list(append)+dict(recurse_array)+str()'
  disable_root: 0
  users:
    - name: foobar
      gecos: Foo B. Bar
      lock-passwd: false
      passwd: secret
    - name: barfoo
      gecos: Bar B. Foo
      lock-passwd: true

  cloud_config_modules:
    - yum-add-repo

  runcmd:
    - touch /root/flagfile

The 'users' and 'cloud_config_modules' blocks appear to override any
content in /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg, rather than appending as one would
expect.  This means that it is not possible to augment the
configuration in /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg without completing replicating
the entire content of the target key.

** Affects: cloud-init
     Importance: High
         Status: Confirmed
