I think the key injection into the root account is done by the cloud
env and not cloud-init. At least that's what OpenStack is doing, not
sure about EC2. There is an ongoing discussion and key injection will
most likely get ripped out of OpenStack at some point because it
breaks easily and the cloud env has no business mucking with the guest
image. If that's the case, we probably shouldn't advertise this
'feature'.
