Binary package hint: cloud-init

I'm investigating backporting support for guest managed kernels into 10.04 guest UEC images.

Doing so would allow 10.04 guest images that were running on EC2 and 10.10 UEC hosts to run 'apt-get dist-upgrade && reboot' and boot into their new kernel. Currently, the 10.04 guests cannot manage their own kernel under either UEC or EC2.

The solution in place for 10.10 is to use grub-pc to load the kernel on UEC and legacy-grub-ec2 to load the kernel on EC2.

In order to do this, we will need to pull the legacy-grub-ec2 package (a binary package built from cloud-init's source) to lucid.

I've done that backport and have a ppa build available at https://launchpad.net/~smoser/+archive/lucid-kernel-upgrades .
