Bug Description

$ ubuntu-ec2-run --help 2>&1 | head
# us-east-1/ebs/ubuntu-lucid-10.04-amd64-server-20110719
  SYNOPSIS
     ec2run ([ec2-run-instances])
     ec2run [GENERAL OPTIONS] AMI [SPECIFIC OPTIONS]
  GENERAL NOTES
     Any command option/parameter may be passed a value of '-' to indicate
     that values for that option should be read from stdin.
  DESCRIPTION
     Launch a number of instances of a specified AMI.
     The AMI parameter is the AMI ID of the AMI to launch.

Above, there is no usage specific to ubuntu-ec2-run (it just passed the '--help' through).
Also, it was going to run a lucid image for me immediately, which is most likely not what someone wants.
