Indeed, I don't think that boto has a location it looks, or knows about
the ubuntu-specific script I use. I don't think it's worth turning it in
to a library at this point though.

I wouldn't mind something the size of Launchpad's ec2test if it didn't
live in this project, or at least the parts that aren't specific to
pkgme-service.

Probably we'll abandon it all in favour of juju in a few months though.

If you have one up the deploy_to_existing should work ok (it could do
with dealing with not having a fresh install a little better if you want
to re-use.)

We could add lxc without too much work I expect, but I haven't played
with lxc directly yet to know what to do.

Thanks,

James
