[Bug 997838] [NEW] Support for cloud-init.

[Charles Plessy]

Public bug reported:

Dear ureadahead maintainers,

the cloud-init package's postinst script disables ureadahead using
dpkg diversions.  In Debian, this would be a policy violation, and I
am now packaging cloud-init for Debian.

I have discussed with cloud-init's maintainer in Ubuntu and we agreed
that ideally, ureadahead should detect cloud-init's presence and not
start in that case, instead of being diverted by cloud init.

  http://lists.debian.org/debian-python/2012/05/msg00047.html

Given that ureadahead is not packaged in Debian, the dpkg diversion in
cloud-init is not causing trouble, so I will keep it to minimise the
delta with Ubuntu.

I am opening this bug in Launchpad to track the issue, in order to
remove the diversion if eventually ureadahead supports detecting
the presence of cloud-init.

Have a nice day,
