When Nodepool refresh an image (setup step) it attempts to connect as root and on failure iterates over well known cloud-users. Diskimage-builder creates a debian user which is not looked at by Nodepool. Upstream patch is https://review.openstack.org/#/c/221873/ . https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/237380 is the Nodepool change.

I rebuild the package and published at:

terbium.eqiad.wmnet:/home/hashar/public_html/debs/nodepool-debian-user/
https://people.wikimedia.org/~hashar/debs/nodepool-debian-user/

I would need it to be uploaded to apt.wikimedia.org jessie-wikimedia/thirdparty.

Then the upgrade to be done on labnodepool1001.eqiad.wmnet.

Thx!
