Bug Description
Wrapping apt-get calls with eatmydata yields a significant speedup, particularly with slow disks. This is very noticeable on the Microsoft Azure cloud. See lp:1236531
My own very unscientific tests found upgrading without it took 6m, with took only 3m. Both are slow, but 3m saved at bootstrap time is very valuable in terms of user experience.
We should use apt_get_wrapper in our cloud-config, and we should update sshinit to honour the option.
