integration tests: azure test_azure_eject unable to install deb package in VM

[Chad Smith]

Bug report

Jenkins logs showing inability the daily noble PPA deb on Azure instances in the integration test. The integration test is getting a non-zero exit code trying to dpkg -i /var/tmp/cloud-init*deb. Local testing in a noble LXC instance doesn't result in an error.

Error message from integration tests is due to Ubuntu Noble Minimal not containing dhcpcd-base which is a strict depends of cloud-init's Noble packaging as defined in debian/control:

(Pdb) ret.stderr
'dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of cloud-init:\n cloud-init depends on dhcpcd-base; however:\n  Package dhcpcd-base is not installed.\n\ndpkg: error processing package cloud-init (--install):\n dependency problems - leaving unconfigured\nErrors were encountered while processing:\n cloud-init'
