Bug Description
Please publish current, updated Ubuntu AMIs on Amazon EC2 for 9.10 Karmic and 8.04 Hardy.
According to the draft proposal on https:/
It's been a while since the EC2 AMIs were updated and releasing new one will speed up instance startups.
An apt-get update/upgrade currently takes over a minute on the below AMI with an m1.small instance.

I updated the bug description to remove a bogus reason I'd like to see updated AMIs. There is no bug in the grub-pc package update code; the mistake was mine.
For anybody who saw the original report, I was simply missing the -E option to pass environment variables to a sudo command:
export DEBIAN_ FRONTEND= noninteractive
sudo apt-get update
sudo -E apt-get upgrade -y
That said, I still think it's a great idea to publish updated AMIs.
