Public bug reported:

When passing a profile with an apt proxy defined in cloud-config data,
it isn't honored for Ubuntu 14.04, but it is for 16.04 and 17.10 (I've
only tried those).

Steps to reproduce:

This uses lxd as I initially ran into this while trying to have a
profile that would automatically set up the proxy for my containers.

Assuming you have an apt-cacher-ng or similar at 1.2.3.4:

lxc profile create aptcache2
cat << EOF | lxc profile edit aptcache2
name: aptcache
description: set up apt caching via 1.2.3.4
config:
  user.vendor-data: |
    #cloud-config
    apt:
      proxy: "http://1.2.3.4:3142";
EOF

lxc launch -p default -p aptcache2 ubuntu:14.04 y-u-no-cache
lxc launch -p default -p aptcache2 ubuntu:16.04 i-do-cache

lxc exec y-u-no-cache -- grep -r 3142 /etc/apt/apt.conf.d
lxc exec i-do-cache -- grep -r 3142 /etc/apt/apt.conf.d

Expected result:
Both lxc exec commands should show something like:

/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/90cloud-init-aptproxy:Acquire::http::Proxy
"http://1.2.3.4:3142";;

Actual result:
Only the command on the 16.04 container shows this, the other container has no proxy settings.

The 14.04 image has cloud-init Installed: 0.7.5-0ubuntu1.22
The 16.04 image has Installed: 0.7.9-233-ge586fe35-0ubuntu1~16.04.2


Stéphane Graber pointed out that 0.7.5 supports this syntax:

user.vendor-data: |
    #cloud-config
    apt_proxy: "http://1.2.3.4:3142";

I didn't find any documentation on that when I went looking, current
cloud-init documentation only mentions the apt: proxy: thing:

Title:
  cloud-init 0.7.5 doesn't honor the apt: proxy: setting, needs
