Bug Description

The README file in the Ubuntu Lunar Lobster boot partition contains a URL that points to a broken documentation link for Cloud Init.

The README file says
meta-data
=========

The meta-data of the cloud-init seed. This mostly exists to define the
identifier of the instance, but also to specify that the data-source in this
case is entirely local (the user-data file; see below). If you wish to use a
remote data-source with cloud-init, you can override this and specify that
source by appending something like the following to cmdline.txt:

ds=nocloud-net;seedfrom=http://10.0.0.2:8000/

Where 10.0.0.2:8000 is an HTTP server serving alternate meta-data, user-data,
and (optionally) vendor-data files. Please note that network-config will *not*
be read from remote data-sources; only the local one will be applied.

The format of this file is YAML, and is documented at:

https://cloudinit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/topics/instancedata.html

user-data
=========

The user-data of the cloud-init seed. This can be used to customize numerous
aspects of the system upon first boot, from the default user, the default
password, whether or not SSH permits password authentication, import of SSH
keys, the keyboard layout, the system hostname, package installation, creation
of arbitrary files, etc. Numerous examples are included (mostly commented) in
the default user-data.

The format of this file is YAML, and is documented at:

https://cloudinit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/topics/modules.html
https://cloudinit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/topics/examples.html

But it looks like Ubuntu isn't using the readthedocs.io domain anymore and all three of the above links are broken.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. It seems that your bug report is not filed about a specific source package though, rather it is just filed against Ubuntu in general. It is important that bug reports be filed about source packages so that people interested in the package can find the bugs about it. You can find some hints about determining what package your bug might be about at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage. You might also ask for help in the #ubuntu-bugs irc channel on Libera.chat.
