This appears to me to have regressed in the stable lifetime of 12.04,
and is a build system defect rather than a issue with cloud-init.
Somewhere between release-20120822 and daily 20120831 we lost multiverse
and universe lists in /var/lib/apt/lists.
to demonstrate:
$ mirror_d="/archive/mirrors/uec/"
$ mkdir -p mnt;
$ for a in ${mirror_d}/releases/precise/release-* ${mirror_d}/precise/*; do
[ -d "$a" ] || continue;
i=$(echo $a/*-amd64.tar.gz);
[ -f "$i" ] || continue;
echo ==== i=$i ====; d=${i%.tar.gz}; d=${d##*/};
mkdir -p $d;
( cd $d && tar -Sxzf $i ) && sudo mount -o loop,ro $d/*.img mnt &&
( cd mnt/var/lib/apt/lists && ls || : ) > ${a##*/}.txt &&
sudo umount mnt;
done
$ ls -l *.txt
