Public bug reported:

[Impact]

 * GCE no longer wish to use gce-utils and instead want to use the new
gce-compute-image-packages package

 * All supported versions of Ubuntu on GCE should have gce-compute-
image-packages installed to avail of any new features on GCE

[Test Case]

 * There are no bugs to reproduce as this is a new package.

 * There are numerous tests run as part of Ubuntu cloud image for GCE
creation. These tests have been updated to test any changes introduced
by gce-compute-image-packages. All of these tests pass.

 * The simplest way to test this package is to launch a GCE instance
with this package installed [2] and test that it is reachable via SSH
using the keys specified when launching. Also check that any startup
scripts specified are run and that NTP has set the time correctly.

[Regression Potential]

 * Most harmful regression potential is GCE instance becoming
unreachable. This was the case with gce-utils too though.

[Other Info]
 
 * This change has been requested by GCE and is a requirement for any future 
Ubuntu cloud images for GCE. They are very eager to get this backported.
