Thanks Andrew for taking the time to file this bug report. The answer
here is that `cloud-init clean` is not meant to clean /etc/machine-id,
as it only cleans files that cloud-init itself generated or more in
general files that cloud-init fully owns. The machine-id is generated by
systemd as part of the boot process, not by cloud-init, and for this
reason it is not cleaned.

I'm marking this report as Invalid, but feel free to set it back to New
and comment back if you think that further discussion is needed.

** Changed in: cloud-init (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Invalid
