** Description changed:

+ === Begin SRU Template ===
+ [Impact]
+ When running on a Google Compute (GCE),
+ instances may show a warning on ssh login or in the cloud-init.log file.
+ 
+ This was by design, as we wanted to find places where ds-identify was
+ not working correctly.
+ 
+ This seems to only occur on older instances.  The original reporter
+ cannot re-create  it on a new instance. The reason for the behavior
+ change is that the new instances have different smbios information.
+ Presumably this is because the mechanism for launching the new 
+ instances has been changed to include 'Google Compute' in the Product
+ Name where previously only 'Google' appeard.
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+ Note, you'd have to have an old instance to actually see this.
+ So this is not really easy to test the fix.
+ The test for no regression is easier:
+ 
+ 1. Launch an instance on a GCE.
+ 2. enable proposed, upgrade
+ 3. rm -Rf /var/lib/cloud /var/log/cloud*
+ 4. reboot
+ 5. ssh back in, expect to see no warning.
+    
+ [Regression Potential] 
+ Very low.  the change was just to consider an a dmi product serial
+ number with 'GoogleCloud-*' as a indication that we are running on
+ Google Compute.  That would seem a very low false-positive rate.
+    
+ [Other Info]
+ 
+ === End SRU Template ===

  The following message appears after login in my Google Cloud VPS:
