Bug Description

[Impact]

Compute-image-packages is provided by Google for installation within guests that run on Google Compute Engine. It is a collection of tools and daemons, packaged as gce-compute-image-packages, that ensure that the Ubuntu images published to GCE run properly on their platform.

Cloud platforms evolve at a rate that can't be handled in six-month increments, and they will often develop features that they would like to be available to customers who don't want to upgrade from earlier Ubuntu releases. As such, updating gce-compute-image-packages to more recent upstream releases is required within all Ubuntu releases, so they continue to function properly in their environment.

[Test Case]

When a new version of gce-compute-image-packages is uploaded to -proposed, the following will be done:

 * an image based on -proposed will be built for GCE and published to the ubuntu-os-cloud-devel project
 * the CPC team will write new automated tests to cover new testable functionality (if any) in the new package
 * the automated testing that the CPC team normally runs against GCE images before they are published will be run against the -proposed image
 * the GCE team will be asked to validate that the new package addresses the issues it is expected to address, and that the image passes their internal image validation.

If all the testing indicates that the image containing the new package is acceptable, verification will be considered to be done.

[Other Information]

The google-compute-engine-oslogin package was split off from the version to be packaged but there is no tagged release yet in the new repository:
https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/guest-oslogin

If I package the new compute-image-packages version without also packaging guest-oslogin there would be no source in the Ubuntu archive to rebuild google-compute-engine-oslogin, thus a guest-oslogin release or guidance to use a git snapshot is required for updating the packages.

I have asked for a tagged release at: https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/guest-oslogin/issues/16
