I think that the data injection feature discussed in this thread is a
basic one thus it should not be implemented as a kind of discoverable
extension (if possible). In worst case, make the data injection
feature an extension, but do not offer different ways of injecting
data in deltacloud API.

I agree exactly - really one way.

I think that it would be better for implementation to pass a single
file to the instance and let the cloud-compat package to expand it on
first instance startup into multiple files specified in deltacloud
create instance API call.

Would this way be sufficiently good to go?

I think so - injecting something is often enough to start with. Or put it this way, if we are to inject N things, that doesn't necessarily bring us closer to absolute portability then injecting 1 file, but 1 file makes it very useful to start with I think.
