No way to pass model-config/default to the sunbeam-microk8s cloud with openstack model

If I'm not mistaken, there is no way to set debug logging for charms through `sunbeam cluster bootstrap`. The openstack model uses the default logging level in Juju, which is INFO.

$ juju model-config -m openstack | grep logging-config
logging-config model <root>=INFO

That makes a troubleshooting harder when a charm failed in the bootstrap phase.

Okay, I found the software configuration manifest instead of the deployment configuration manifest so I can technically pass logging-config now.

Isn't it more user friendly by having `sunbeam cluster bootstrap --debug` for example?

Nah, it's not going to work. The bootstrap_args is for the initial Juju cloud only.

So it's going to be applied for the manual cloud, but not the k8s cloud I'd like to enable debug for charms.

This is also blocking the ability to do an offline deployment.

Asking for a re-triage since other use cases affecting a deployment came up.

Still triaged as wishlist. This is a feature request, albeit an important one.
