Public bug reported:

[Impact]

This package is provided by Google for installation within guests that
run on Google Compute Engine. It is part of a collection of tools and
daemons, 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 this package 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 this package 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.
