Its all automated. information on the build process is at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UEC/Images/Publishing .
For ebs populating the code is at
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-on-ec2/ubuntu-on-ec2/ec2-publishing-scripts/view/head:/ec2-image2ebs
.
Your process is correct, though, you basically have to launch an instance,
attach a volume, pupulate, detach, snapshot, register, in each region.
