[ec2-beta] Java installation hangs

[Eric Hammond]

Alf:

The problem with openjdk was a known bug with the official beta
(LP#310898).  I'll add sun-java6-bin to the ticket.  Thanks for reporting.

If anybody figures out a workaround for the current AMI, please let us
know.  I'd like to do more testing with openjdk on the official AMI.
