Bug Description

Until the EC2 AMI tools are installed inside the official Ubuntu image, one of the common things users will want to do on new instances is to install the ec2-ami-tools package.

ec2-ami-tools is currently in multiverse but /etc/apt/sources.list on the first beta AMI does not include multiverse by default.

I'm sure there is a philosophical reason why this is true, but it sure would make life easier for EC2 users if they didn't have to add multiverse after running an instance.

It is not enabled by default in the regular /etc/apt/sources.list, but Ill consider this for the beta2 release.

AMI-tools are installed by default in beta2, which will be out in a few days. This should alleviate the need to enable multi-verse.
