Dear Juerg and everybody,

correcting the debhelper file to install 21-cloudinit.conf at the right
position will only work for new packages.

(Currently the file is installed in /etc/rsyslog.d/21-cloudinit.conf/21-cloudinit.conf,
sorry for this…)

In upgrades, /etc/rsyslog.d/21-cloudinit.conf is a directory owned by the old
version of cloud-init, and dpkg emits a warning without installing the
configuration file at its new location.

Since it apparently calls for heavy use of maintainer scripts, and since
cloud-init has not yet been released in a stable version of Debian, I am
tempted to put the dust under the carpet, by explaining in debian/NEWS how to
solve the problem by hand.

Or could somebody send me a patch to solve the problem cleanly ?

Have a nice day,
