Hi,

I'm not an AWS user (I have no account there, and probably
never will), but I am interested in having a way to get these
AMI images. Openstack also supports them (I'm working on
Openstack packaging with the other members of the team),
It would be really nice to have official Debian AMI images
available through the mirrors of Debian, somehow. Also,
building these official Debian AMI images using a script,
available in Debian itself, would even be better, so that
anyone could tweak it. Probably, you already thought of
that no?

Thoughts?

Thanks for working on this, really!

Cheers,

Thomas
