Package: cloud-init
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainers,

Upstream cloud-init has hd a lot of work to fix many of the bugs listed 
against this package, including... the ability to resize partitions with 
modern tools (eg, old growpart that used to work is now a utility that 
prints info ABOUT a partition, but doesnt actually resize it). Any EC2 
instance witht he curent cloud-init cannot resize its root parition as 
this version depends upon older packages that are no longer in Debian 
as expected.

Meanwhile, ther distros have continued to package bzr snapshots of 
cloud-init from Launchpad, meaning that their images actually resize 
partitions and are very useful.

Can you please update the Debian cloud-init package from a current 
bzr snapshot, and also deposit a copy in Jessie-backports.

Ta.
  James
