Hi Brendan,

Please don't top-post:

I agree to add your DataSourceGCE.py into the Debian cloud-init package,
however, you might know that there's a debconf system to configure which
data source to activate. Currently, we can select:

NoCloud, AltCloud, CloudStack, ConfigDrive, Ec2, MAAS, OVF, None

Which is it going to be for Google Cloud? Will it work to just put that
in the /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg.d/90_dpkg.cfg file?

Please let me know so I can work it out in the cloud-init package.

Cheers,
