Package: cloud.debian.org

I have set up LXD to test Ubuntu images. For more info, see Stephane's
tutorials from last year. [1]

The standard Ubuntu images are the Ubuntu cloud images. I tried
testing a Debian image, but it was too basic to be useful without more
work. I expected it to have openssh-server and cloud-init installed.

I think it would be good if the official Debian cloud images could be
distributed as the default Debian in the LXD image archive.

Using cloud-init with LXD works like this, assuming you have a
cloud-init-config.yml ready.

$ lxc init images:debian/stretch FOO
$ lxc config set FOO user.user-data - < cloud-init-config.yml
$ lxc start FOO

And if you wanted to see how it works already with Ubuntu, use this
first line instead:
$ lxc init ubuntu:16.04 FOO
