Public bug reported:

When cloud-init itself fails to run, as in the case discussed in bug
1621075, an experienced user can detect the problem in the split-second
the console is still alive, but most users are lost.

Could we make it more obvious what the problem we encountered was? I'm
thinking of a very common problem in MAAS, which is that the initial
network configuration is wrong, or drivers are not available for the
NICs in the host.
