Bug#1033867: cloud.debian.org: Please add Amazon hibernation agent to EC2 AMIs

[Dirk Heinrichs <dheinric@opentext.com>]

Package: cloud.debian.org
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

we're providing customized Debian and Ubuntu development servers to our
software developers. While the Ubuntu AMIs ship with the Amazon EC2
hibernation agent and are thus able to be hibernated via the AWS
console, the Debian AMIs lack that functionality.

So the request is to also ship the agent preinstalled in the Debian AMIs. See
https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=ec2-hibinit-agent&searchon=names
for Ubuntu (source) packages or https://github.com/aws/amazon-ec2-hibinit-agent
for latest sources.

I've already verified that it works on Debian with a local rebuild of
the latest Ubuntu source deb.

Thanks in advance...

        Dirk
