I'm not sure I understand what you're driving at here. Being in a packageset (for upload privs) doesn't relate to how it's seeded or installed. The various bits and bobs for public clouds are added to the each cloud's images at build time, so they don't have to have all the tools on all the clouds, which would be useless, bloaty, and might even conflict with each other. > Should this be in main?

They could perhaps be encouraged to do MIRs for all their cloud-specific bits that might be in universe and the like, but since they're supported by the CPC team (and their upstreams), rather than by the community as a whole or the Canonical security team, the distinction is perhaps slightly less important. ...
