[Bug 1177432] Re: [SRU] Enable backports in cloud-init archive template

[Ben Howard]

** Description changed:

+ [SRU Justification]
+ Ubuntu Cloud Images are inconsistent with desktop and bare-metal server installations since backports are not enabled. This is effected via cloud-init that uses a template to select an in-cloud archive.
+ 
+ [FIX] Include the Ubuntu backports in the template.
+ 
+ [REGRESION] The potential for regression is low. However some users will
+ likely experience slower fetch times on apt-get updates especially on
+ slower or high latency networks.
+ 
+ [TEST]
+ 1. Build image from -proposed
+ 2. Boot up image
+ 3. Confirm that "sudo apt-get update" pulls in backports.
+ 
  Backports are currently not enabled in the cloud-init template. This is
  needed in order to get the backport kernels on cloud images.
