diskimage-builder/elements/debian (as with ubuntu) should include cloud-init-datasources to speed up the booting process

[Alessandro]

diskimage-builder/elements/debian (as with ubuntu) should include cloud-init-datasources by default to speed up the booting process.

This requires the following:

1) File

diskimage-builder/elements/debian/element-deps

should also contain cloud-init-datasources.

2) /diskimage-builder/elements/debian/environment.d

should contain e.g. file 99-cloud-init-datasources.bash (as taken from ubuntu) with

export DIB_CLOUD_INIT_DATASOURCES=${DIB_CLOUD_INIT_DATASOURCES:-"Ec2"}

which overwrites the DIB_CLOUD_INIT_DATASOURCES variable.

With the default setting, many different data sources are tried, making the booting of the machine very slow.

Apologies if this is already a know enhancement request.

Regards,

Alessandro
