After reading a little more about upstart, I don't think this script
does anything. I'm not entirely sure at the moment however how best to
ensure that networking starts after cloud-early-config, short of
converting cloud-early-config to an upstart script. It looks like this
debian build is using upstart just for networking, and everything else
uses the standard sysvinit ordering.
