[Bug 1468103] Re: rc.local runs too early.

[Martin Pitt]

in boot".

This can't be taken literally, as services can and do come and go (stop
and start) all the time, and as any service can declare dependencies to
run after "your thing" this can't be enforced either.

For example, could-final.service has an "After=rc-local.service" which I
assume is deliberate. So we can't do a thing like "run rc-local.service
after multi-user.target" as that would be an unresolvable ordering with
cloud-final.service.

Thus I suggest to add an After=rc-local.service to cloud-init.service.
This is explicit and unambiguous.

** Summary changed:

- rc.local runs too early.
+ rc.local runs earlier than cloud-init.service

** Package changed: systemd (Ubuntu) => cloud-init (Ubuntu)
