Bug Description

[Impact]

`google-guest-agent` is a package provided by Google for installation within guests that run on the Google Compute Engine (GCE). It is part of a collection of tools and daemons that ensure that Ubuntu images published to GCE run properly on the platform.

Google have updated to release 20240213.00 and have asked us to do the same. Most importantly, this update removes the dependency on dhclient [0] (whose support is formally ending as of noble [1])

[Test Case]

When the new version of this package is uploaded to -proposed, the following will happen:

 * an image based on -proposed will be built for GCE and published
 * the GCE team will be asked to validate that the new package addresses the issues it is expected to address, and that the image passes their internal image validation.
 * Each test image will be launched, and we will validate:
 ** the package version(s)
 ** that the correct ssh keys have been imported
 ** that the google specific services are running successfully

If all the testing indicates that the image containing the new package is acceptable, verification will be considered to be done.

[Additional Information]

This bug is used to track the release of this new version, as per the policy mentioned here [1].
