+  * Unconditionally set GRUB_FORCE_PARTUUID in cloud images; as of version
+    2.02+dfsg1-5ubuntu5 grub will automatically fall back to booting with an
+    initrd if one is available, so we can now always attempt initramfsless
+    boot for cloud images which almost always works and causes only minimal
+    increase in boot speed for cases where it does not.
