[Bug 424065] Re: ec2-init hangs waiting for ec2 meta-data service

[Eric Hammond]

The ec2-init package should only be installed on an instance (or image)
which is used inside of Amazon EC2 or compatible environment
(Eucalyptus).  End users should never install the ec2-init package
themselves as it is only useful when building images for EC2/Eucalyptus.

Are there any other packages in Ubuntu which should never be installed
by normal users?  What protection do they take?

Perhaps ec2-init could by default install itself in safety mode with no
bootup actions and require an additional step to "activate" it.
