Bug Description

Starting with Oneiric, cloud-images have byobu turned on by default.

If a user boots the cloud images in KVM, the initialization is _very slow_, i.e take between two and five minutes for the screen to become usable.

Repo Steps:
1. Grab latest cloud image from http://uec-images.ubuntu.com/oneiric/current/
2. Change boot options so that "console=ttys0" is removed and add "ds=nocloud ubuntu-pass=ubuntu"
3. Hit control-X to boot.
4. See byobu take a long time to finish initialization

This bug was fixed in the package byobu - 4.33-0ubuntu1

---------------
byobu (4.33-0ubuntu1) oneiric; urgency=low

  * usr/lib/byobu/updates_available:
    - localize variables
    - save a fork
    - fix detection of updates, which only worked when there were security
      updates
  * usr/lib/byobu/.shutil: LP: #844994
    - the wget --timeout=1 was not working as desired, without the --tries=1
      option too; so local boots of ubuntu ec2 images that don't have a
      working metadata service might take several minutes for byobu to start
      while that wget tries repeatedly to reach the metadata service;
      big thanks to Ben Howard for helping triage and fix ;-)
  * usr/lib/byobu/apport: LP: #842113
    - fix broken detection of apport bug reports, thanks to lp:~masterpatricko
      for the suggested fix
  * etc/byobu/backend, usr/bin/byobu, usr/lib/byobu/.common,
    usr/lib/byobu/.dirs, usr/share/byobu/status/status,
    usr/share/man/man1/byobu.1: LP: #836090
    - fix handling of byobu backend (screen|tmux) handling; thanks to
      lp:~zorun-42 for the fix
  * usr/lib/byobu/swap: LP: #843446
    - make swap status behave like disk and memory (display usage even if
      zero)
