no, that sounds very typical for a bunch of python scripts on a slow arm
system, especially on first boot where you also generate the keys
(without that it is more in the 30sec realm) ... 

given we only use cloud-init for setting up the ubuntu user credentials
(sudo) and ssh keys we should probably consider replacing it with a 10
line shell script ;)

(it would also save us from having to have cloud-init config files
created inside /writable before first boot which would ease a lot of
pain)
