Comment 3 for bug 1496730

By dropping the dependency on cloud-init in the trusty and precise versions, the xe-cloud service will no longer be started at boot because the upstart job is 'start on starting cloud-init-nonet' which will never trigger.

This sounds like it would also be a behavior regression for those users who want xe-guest-utilities but not cloud-init.

This behavior change does not affect releases using systemd, because the systemd unit only mentions cloud-init as 'Before=' (ordering constraint), not 'Requires=' (dependency constraint).
