Public bug reported: cc_final_message calls util.write_file, which calls ensure_dir; if nothing has caused the symlink to be created, then this means that /var/lib/cloud/instance will be a directory, and future boots will fail because they fail to remove it (because it's a directory, so can't just be `rm`d.)
