I think I've found the problem.
a.) I'm probably not doing a great job of explaining myself.  thats not
new.
b.) I really wish that rightscale-init script wasn't in the package that
you reviewed.  But I'm glad that Martin took the time to point it out.

Above, when Martin said "The init script I was talking about" he was
referring to 'rightscale-init'.  See debian/ec2-init.rightscale-init.init
(http://tinyurl.com/ydxp8c5).  It should not be there.  And, in bug
434181, I even convinced the rightscale developers of that.

However, at grave risk of confusing things, I want to point out that this
script is an example of one that might be via ec2 user data to ec2-init
(ec2-run-user-data.py)

So, I will get rightscale-init removed from the package, and clean up the
other issues that you pointed out.
