[Bug 1079897] [NEW] walinuxagent mangles server identity and access on upgrade

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

walinxuagent, as packaged will result in a server losing its identity at
agent installation or at agent start. Specifically, it will remove
/var/lib/waagent (containing provisioning meta-data),
/etc/ssh/{config,ssh_rsa*} and /etc/sudoers.d/waagent.  Because of the
way that Winodws Azure boots, this means that the identity of hosts will
be completely stripped out, the user who was provisioned with the system
will be locked out, and worst of all, a person who installs this package
on a non-Windows Azure system may be exposed to losing their host's SSH
identity.
