[ec2-beta] motd: "apt-get update" before "tasksel --section server"

[Chuck Short]

Hi,

I have noticed this already and had it fix for the next beta. The 
ec2-init script responsible for the creation of the sources.list runs an 
apt-get update after the /etc/apt/sources.list is created.

Regards
chuck
