Binary package hint: cloud-init
In natty beta-1 testing, we had 2 occurrences where it appears the upstart job cloud-final did not run after 15 minutes of waiting.
This occurred once on eu-west-1 and ap-southeast-1. both were m1.small (i386).
I will attach the console output of each. Note, that in that console output, the '[]' is from the 'timezone' cloud-config plugin. This gives us info that cloud-init-config had gotten past the 'apt-update-upgrade' plugin.
cloud-config upstart job has:
start on (filesystem and started rsyslog)
cloud-config-final upstart job has:
start on (stopped rc RUNLEVEL=[2345] and stopped cloud-config)

it would seem to me that the most likely cause for cloud-final not running would be something blocked in sysvinit scripts.
