I'm adding a server-papercuts task, as I think this might be a reasonable candidate, as I mentioned this script at UDS-Dallas.

The code is very simple, and straight-forward. It's really something that could make the Ubuntu Server shine, as being friendly, useful, and easier-to-use, and help further the adoption of Ubuntu's EC2 images over other Linux distributions.

It's also a nice tie-in with Launchpad, as an auxiliary Ubuntu-related service (while not being exclusively tied to Launchpad -- just mangle your URL environment variable and point to your infrastructure's public key server).
