Bug Description

[Impact]

When attempting to debug startup issues, the serial console in the GCE web console is a useful tool. With gce-utils, the GCE daemons logged to the serial console, but that change has been dropped for gce-compute-image-packages.

[Test Case]

Launch an instance and observe Google daemon logging in the serial console. For example:

Feb 15 11:17:03 zesty-170215-1113 startup-script: INFO Starting startup scripts.

[Regression Potential]

Minimal; we are only adding a rsyslog rule to redirect the daemon output.

  * Backport latest gce-compute-image-packages to trusty
    - Including the configuration to enable rsyslog logging to the serial
      console, as expected by Google's platform (LP: #1664949)
    - Removes the udev rule present in more recent versions that configures
      the noop scheduler as the udev package handles that in trusty
