Official GCE manifests

These are the official manifests used to build [Google Compute Engine (GCE) Debian images](https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/images).

The included packages and configuration changes are necessary for Debian to run on GCE as a first class citizen of the platform. Included GCE software is published on github: [Google Compute Engine guest environment](https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/compute-image-packages)
