There's little we can do except encourage people to build/use 0.7.2+

Yes, but this still leaves older guests without a solution. Maybe we should really push
for virt-sysprep as it is much more mature in sense of legacy compatibility, nothing extra
needed inside the guest. At least a simple passthrough of some basic stuff (we have only a
basic stuff in cloud-init anyway).
It's slightly different approcha than cloud-init, but may be really worth it even
long term...
Well, I reported the cloud-init bug.
atm I write a helper script to parse the cloud-init data myself.
virt-sysprep cannot set IP-Information beside the MAC out of the box,
so this is also no solution.
I feel like there must be made some huge efforts to be able to automate
vm deployment.
I can't believe I'm the only one who needs this features.
how do you deploy vms? set everything up by hand? do you always
install $latest_OS_version with selfcompiled software?
that's not always possible, especially for production environments.
See also my other mail regarding IPv6 Support in Cloud-Init and
no proper static networking support.
