I've verified that this bug is present in released images of both hardy
and intrepid. On the intrepid image, i did an
  apt-get install launchpad-client
there were no updates available.

I think we really need to pursue proper (SRU) updates for this, and stop
maintaining/using ppa builds of landscape-client in our ec2/uec images. I
apologize for anything I said previously that implied anything else.

One other thing to note, this is fairly easily worked around by a
user-data script (or other post-boot configuration).

I verified that 'sudo /etc/cron.hourly/landscape-client' is functional on
a system after booting with:
  xc2-run-instances --user-data-file=user-data.sh ami-5059be39

and 'user-data.sh' as below.

--- user-data.sh ---
#!/bin/sh

RUN=""
conf=/etc/default/landscape-client
. ${conf}
if [ -n "${RUN}" ]; then
   echo "run set to ${RUN} in ${conf}"
else
   echo "fixing ${conf}, setting RUN=1"
   echo "RUN=1" >> ${conf} ||
      { echo "failed."; exit 1; }
   echo "updated ${conf}"
fi
--- end user-data.sh ---
