Probably not. :-(
Generally, though the config parsing goes:
 * /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg
 * /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg.d/*.cfg # in C locale sorted order
 * user-data-cloud-config , parsed in order seen.

fwiw, under bug 1023179, we're hoping to make the "merge cloud-config"
more sane. Right now, it basically only overrides. Ie, if 2 files have
'runcmd' defined, the last one wins.
