I notice that this pulls in quite a few other things. For the current cloud
image, it adds 

   ceph-libs
   cryptopp
   euca2ools
   gdisk
   libaio
   libicu
   libseccomp
   m2crypto
   python-crypto
   python-paramiko
   qemu-img

Could we subpackage the growroot script? (It's kind of random that it's in
_this_ package instead of cloud-init itself, isn't it? Maybe upstream would
consider moving it?)

Hmmmm. We actually _have_ the 3.8 kernel in F18 now. Are the userspace tools
required different from above?
