I should have mentioned this, the plan we discussed to cover this case 
was that the nonha test would build and boot an ubuntu based user image 
on the deployed cloud. I like the look of the test you proposed, I'll 
give it a proper review in the morning, which ever we end up using I 
agree we should continue to test that DIB can create a bootable Ubuntu 
image.

Yup, we should still be running tripleo tests on DIB although I don't 
believe we need to run every tripleo test on it.
