Bug Description

==== Begin SRU Template ====
[Impact]
When re-configuring cloud-init package by running dpkg-reconfigure, the OpenStack data source is incorrectly written to the configuration file /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg.d/90_dpkg.cfg.

The result is that dpkg-reconfigure and selecting OpenStack results in non-functional openstack datasource.

[Test Case]
# launch a container
$ lxc launch ubuntu-daily:xenial x1
$ lxc exec x1 dpkg-reconfigure cloud-init
## Note that 'OpenStack' is not checked.
## Select OpenStack, hit enter
$ lxc exec x1 cat /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg.d/90_dpkg.cfg
# to update this file, run dpkg-reconfigure cloud-init
datasource_list: [ NoCloud, ConfigDrive, OpenNebula, Azure, AltCloud, OVF, MAAS, GCE, Openstack, CloudSigma, SmartOS, Ec2, CloudStack, None ]

Note, the reconfigured file was written, but contains 'Openstack' (lower case s), when OpenStack is what is needed.

When fixed, this will have 'OpenStack'.

[Regression Potential]
Regression potential would be limited to people running dpkg-reconfigure for cloud-init.
==== End SRU Template ====

On Ubuntu 14.04 LTS when re-configuring the cloud-init package by running dpkg-reconfigure, the OpenStack data source is incorrectly written to the configuration file /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg.d/90_dpkg.cfg

From a default install:

datasource_list: [ NoCloud, ConfigDrive, OpenNebula, Azure, AltCloud, OVF, MAAS, GCE, OpenStack, CloudSigma, Ec2, CloudStack, SmartOS, None ]

After running dpkg-reconfigure, selecting all options.

datasource_list: [ NoCloud, ConfigDrive, OpenNebula, Azure, AltCloud, OVF, MAAS, GCE, Openstack, CloudSigma, Ec2, CloudStack, SmartOS, None ]

Note that it reads "Openstack" instead of "OpenStack".

I've verified this fixed.
 * launch a container
 * add proposed
 * install cloud-init from proposed
 * dpkg-reconfigure

At that point you see
 a. that OpenStack is selected (as it should have shown before)
 b. unselecting it and exiting will remove it from
     /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg.d/90_dpkg.cfg
 c. doing it again and selecting it will write it back there.
