Public bug reported:

During the automated installation of an iso, if cloud-init uses the
DataSourceNoCloud, then it will check for block devices and read the
/etc/os-release and /etc/lsb-release files, parsing them for
distribution specific information. However, Cubic appends its own
information onto the PRETTY_NAME and DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION lines for those
two files, causing cloud-init to break, and any automated provisioning
to fail. This can be fixed in cloud-init by using proper os.path.join,
or os.sep, etc., but this is unlikely to happen soon. Cubic should
provided better documentation about any cute characters it writes into
the distribution.
