[Bug 1321427] Re: Update walinuxagent package for Precise to v2.0.5

[Ben Howard]

Attached debdiff of walinuxagent_1.3.2-0ubuntu4~12.04.7 to
walinuxagent_2.0.5-0ubuntu1~12.04

** Description changed:

- This is a request from Microsoft to please update the walinuxagent
- package for Ubuntu 12.04 from v1.3.2 to the latest WALinuxAgent 2.0.5.
+ SRU Justification
+ 
+ Impact: WALinuxAgent 1.3.2 lacks features and bug fixes; these features
+ and fixes are not being backported.
+ 
+ TEST CASES
+ New Image
+  * Build new image from -proposed, confirm that it boots
+  * Boot new instance w/ user-data
+    - confirm cloud-init consumed user-data
+ 
+ Upgrade:
+  * Upgrade 12.04 and 14.04 instance w/ -proposed walinuxagent
+  * Reboot, confirm instance came back up
+  * Rebundle instance, confirm that new rebundling works
+  * Upgrade 12.04 to 14.04, reboot. Confirm that instance comes up
+ 
+ REGRESSION POTENTIAL:
+ There is some risk of regression potential. MS has confirmed that that 2.0.5 has been thoroughly tested by MS on 12.04. However, for 12.04 it is a shift from 1.3.2 series to 2.0.5. 
+ 
+ ORIGINAL REPORT:
+ This is a request from Microsoft to please update the walinuxagent package for Ubuntu 12.04 from v1.3.2 to the latest WALinuxAgent 2.0.5.
  
  The Microsoft team has implemented new features and bugfixes into the
  2.0 branch that will not be backported to the 1.x branch.  The most
  important of these is the support for extension handlers on Azure, which
  will be a widely used and compelling feature for Azure moving forward.
  
  Thanks,
  Steve

+ IMPACT: 
+ WALinuxAgent 1.3.2 lacks features and bug fixes; these features and fixes are not being backported. 
+ 
+ For 14.04, the current code base is 2.0.4; 2.0.5 is largely a selection
+ of bug fixes. The current extension handlers are not robust and may leak
+ and exception, causing the agent to crash mid boot. For example there
+ are several fixes for catching errors in plugin handling.
