shouldn't that stuff be in /run/cloud-init/?
(or after #4820 in /var/run/cloud-init)

So, seems suspicious that it's directly in /run

I can't reproduce on my side, these files are now stored in /var/run/cloud-init, this has probably been solved by #4820 like @igalic said.

Closing, this was resolved in #4820.
