I agree that given the goals of euca2ools, the default installation of the upstream source should not force AWS-specific options on users. The primary goal of this ticket is to have euca2ools on Ubuntu EC2 AMIs default to AWS/EC2 resources so that when a user runs an Ubuntu AMI, euca2ools commands operate in that environment without further customization. This could be done by setting appropriate environment variables or with appropriate config file settings based on euca2ools enhancements as Scott describes. I'm changing the title of the ticket to reflect the clarified goals.
