Bug Description

Binary package hint: cloud-init

Cloudinit emits a "starting" message to the console.

It would be good to have some "all the way up" message also that would indicate the system is finished processing user-data and any related operations.

Other things to do here might be:
 a.) support a phone-home url indicating system is up
 b.) touch a file in the filesystem (/var/run/cloud-init)
 c.) write the date in the console output also.

Here, we could also write keys to console again. This would make sure that the keys were
seen in the console (ie, they'd not been pushed out of the buffer by other data written there).
