@racb this was missing SRU documentation as far as the previous bionic upload was concerned as we thought originally this upload may be taken direct into esm-infra pockets.
But, because this supplemental cloud-config user-data key is required at initial instance launch in non-pro images, providing a package update in esm-infra doesn't provide non-pro images with the ability to use the unified `ubuntu_pro:` key at initial launch. I have since added the full SRU template to describe the needs as verification steps to establish that both old config key and new config key are allowed to ensure no regressing for users trying to launch and attach non-pro images to Ubuntu Pro. Per your deprecation comment in bionic, the deprecation treatment in bionic is only a debug level log that leaves a breadcrumb to inform that you probably shouldn't be using the ubuntu-advantage or ubuntu_advantage keys long term as upgrades to the next stable release may have dropped that functionality in the more recent LTS. Generally deprecated behavior is not ever something cloud-init will drop across and SRU boundary. We will continue to retain original behavior where ever possible. But, by announcing that it is a deprecated feature, someone who may be thinking of upgrading to a newer release of Ubuntu such as Focal++ can be better aware that this deprecated behavior may cause warnings or be dropped across that Ubuntu release upgrade boundary. To reinforce this same type of debug level behavior in other active stable releases (focal ++), we have also recently added a feature flag in cloud-init on stable releases to provide this same mechanism of only logging debug level messages for deprecated features[1] which allows each stable downstream release to declare the cloud-init package version boundary at which each deprecated message is considered a deprecation warning level log versus just a debug level log.
