[Bug 1170223] [NEW] backport quantal ec2-api-tools to precise

[Paul Morahan]

Public bug reported:

12.04 uses ec2-api-tools 1.5.0.0
12.10 uses ec2-api-tools 1.6.1.1

AWS is deprecating the SOAP API, which is the only one that 1.5.0.0
supports (newer version not in backports either). 1.6.1.1 supports the
use of the AWS Access/Secret keys, which is their way forward. Precise
will be with us for a while, so it would be good to update these tools
to suit.
