Title:
  package-update-upgrade-install does not update when run with
  --frequency=always

Status in cloud-init:
  Expired

Bug description:
  1. The following stanzas in /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg:

  ```
  cloud_final_modules:
    # always update+upgrade on boot
    - [package-update-upgrade-install, always]

  packages:  # will run apt-update
    - git
  package_update: true
  package_upgrade: true
  package_reboot_if_required: true
  ```

  2. Result in the following log entry at boot-time:

  ```
  helpers.py[DEBUG]: update-sources already ran (freq=once-per-instance)
  ```

  3. Running the module manually with:

  ```
  sudo cloud-init single --name package-update-upgrade-install --frequency always
  ```

  ... also fails to call `apt-get update`

  4. Google gives no results.
  - No similar bugs visible here.
  - No additional configuration keys shown in <https://cloudinit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/topics/modules.html#package-update-upgrade-install>.
  - No relevant keys given in <https://cloudinit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/topics/modules.html#apt-configure>.
  - Nowhere is "update-sources" mentioned.

  5. Attempted guess at "update-sources" fails:

  ```
  sudo cloud-init single --name update-sources --frequency always
  ```

  6. Expected behavior is that `apt-get update` is executed before `apt-get install` every time the machine is booted.
  On my system the install looks like:

  ```
  ['eatmydata', 'apt-get', '--option=Dpkg::Options::=--force-confold', '--option=Dpkg::options::=--force-unsafe-io', '--assume-yes', '--quiet', 'install', 'git']
  ```

  7. Alternate behavior would be a way to explicitly request that an update be performed.
  This was attempted/guessed-at with:

  ```
  cloud_config_modules:
    - [apt-configure, always]
  ```

  But did not obtain an update.
  There seem to be no other applicable modules listed in <https://cloudinit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/topics/modules.html#>

  8. Environment:
  - Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS
  - /usr/bin/cloud-init 18.2

  9. /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg
