** Description changed: During instance boot, cloud-init installs packages (if instructed by the user). During instance boot, there is no state of the system that the user cares about. I'd like to use eatmydata for apt-get install at that point, as it is dramatically faster than apt-get even with --force-unsafe-io. From an ubuntu perspective, this change would mean: a.) depending on (or recommending) eatmydata b.) MIR for eatmydata - c.) fixing eatmydata's relationship with sysvinit scripts.
