Title:
  regression: nova boot --file does not work

Status in python-novaclient package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Since more often than not cloud instances have a broken /etc/hosts,
  autopkgtest's nova setup script does this to force an update of
  /etc/hosts to include the own hostname:

      # cloud-init config to fix broken hostname resolution
      local cfg=`mktemp`
      echo "manage_etc_hosts: true" > $cfg

      nova boot --flavor $FLAVOR --key_name $KEYNAME \
          --file /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg.d/01manage_hosts.cfg=$cfg \
          --image $IMAGE $NET_ID --poll $SRVNAME

  This did work in the past (several months ago, thus in the
  saucy/trusty era, with Canonistack), but seems to have broken in
  utopic or with Bootstack:

  $ cat /tmp/cfg 
  manage_etc_hosts: true
  $ nova boot --flavor m1.small --key_name pitti --image ubuntu-utopic-14.10-beta2-amd64-server-20140923-disk1.img --nic net-id=415a0839-eb05-4e7a-907c-413c657f4bf5 --file /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg.d/01manage_hosts.cfg=/tmp/cfg --poll adt-nova-1
  $ ssh -o UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no ubuntu at 172.19.0.90
  ubuntu at adt-nova-1:~$ ls /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg.d/
  05_logging.cfg  90_dpkg.cfg  README

  I. e. the file is not there. /var/log/cloud-init.log has no trace of
  this, but then I'm not sure whether --file is supposed to reflect in
  cloud-init.log (the effect of installing the file certainly should
  though, but it's not even getting that far).
