On an Oracle instance containing this:
cat /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg.d/99-oracle-compute-user-redirect.cfg

CLOUD_IMG: This file was created/modified by the Cloud Image build process

users:

• default
• name: opc
  ssh_redirect_user: true

We get a WARNING in the log with this:
init.py[WARNING]: Unable to disable SSH logins for opc given ssh_redirect_user: ubuntu. No cloud public-keys present.

Given that the user specified ssh_redirect_user: true, seeing ubuntu here is strange and misleading, even though the value has been changed for good reason.
