Comment 20 for bug 1235231

I think the cloud-init *binary package* should add these .override files as conffiles. While the issue of messages going missing may affect systems other than cloud images, it's precisely the cloud images where a) plymouth adds no value, and b) the impact of messages going missing from the console is highest.

And dpkg-divert is not the right tool for this. The .override files should be created in the postinst, and removed in postrm (when called with $1 == remove || $1 == purge); but this should absolutely not involve dpkg-divert.
