$ man apt.conf
$ echo 'Acquire::http::Pipeline-Depth "0";' | sudo tee
   /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99-no-pipelining

We made this as an option to configure easily in cloud-init because we
were changing a default that exists in any other un-modified version of
ubuntu.

Rather than just making this configuration change in our build process, we
put it into cloud-init, so anyone making cloud-images themselves would get
this change for free (as long as they have cloud-init).

Because cloud-init had made the change, we made it as easy as possible to
disable this change if you wanted the benefit of pipelining.
