When a pristine ubuntu 14.04 boots, it gets unsigned packages, either because the dns redirects to dreamhost repositories or because of a transparent proxy (not so transparent).

WARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated!
  ntp git-man git
E: There are problems and -y was used without --force-yes

Possible workaround:

diff --git a/teuthology/openstack/openstack-ubuntu-user-data.txt b/teuthology/openstack/openstack-ubuntu-user-data.txt

Another workaround is to run a resolver and not rely on the DNS provided by the provider to avoid unexpected resolutions (should it turn out to be the problem).
