you might want to consider an initrd script that kicks in after mounting
the rootfs but before running run-init to switch to the filesystem.

Greg,
So digged a bit further, it seems that the ubuntu images do the right thing in
that /etc/machine-id is not present in the image itself. I suspect your
instances that you noticed this on were snapshotted from a once-booted instance
or in some other way booted. If that is the case, it would
Yeah, likely this happens to early in boot for cloud-init to affect.
I've marked livecd-rootfs as a target, which is (i think) proper for changing
the images themselves.

It seems like the thing I should do is :
once per instance remove /etc/machine-id and run systemd-machine-id-setup
Ideally i think is that any system where the instance-id is a uuid, we could
just populate /etc/machine-id with that instance-id.
