[Python-apps-team] Bug#725384: [PATCH] DataSourceGCE.py an implementation of a cloud-init DataSource for Google Compute Engine

[Brendan Burns]

Hey Thomas,
We're currently discussing how this code might be submitted upstream, the
discussions might take a while.

In the mean time, is there a way we can get this submitted as a Debian
patch so that our users can start to take advantage of it?

Many thanks!
