Bug Description
Binary package hint: cloud-init
the grub-legacy-ec2 package is part of 'cloud-init'. It was developed (copied from grub with minimal changes) to write/maintain a /boot/grub/menu.lst on ec2 instances without conflicting with grub2. This work is done for the server-
In brief, the UEC images are used as both a UEC guest and an EC2 guest. UEC uses kvm, and is able to use grub2 as a bootloader. On EC2, we are only able to use grub-legacy. The grub-0.97 package is unsuitable because:
a.) it conflicts with grub2
b.) some changes would be needed to deal with ec2/xen specific issues
bug 605001 is opened to add grub-legacy-ec2 to the UEC seed.
