1) OpenStack juju charms by default have VNC/SPICE unconfigured

2) There was no such issue in Debian 8 cloud images. Not to mention Ubuntu
and CentOS

3) Why do we want to have an
image that sometimes does not work - it took
me a while to figure out why Debian 9 is the only image that does not boot
in our private cloud

4) Any serious reasons to be different on this matter to other major Linux
distributions?
