Fix lost IPv6 connectivity on old Debian Buster images when migrating to routed IP
On older Debian Buster images, the installed custom version of cloud-init
may interfere with IPv6 connectivity when the Instance transitions to using routed IP. To avoid this, you should install a newer version of cloud-init
before the migration to routed IP. This procedure also recovers connectivity for an Instance already using routed IP.

debian-stable
PPA. The URL of the PPA may be configured to use thenoble
