admin is fine too... basically I just wanted Debian to have their own default user that wasn't the same as other OSes use. IE: I don't love ec2-user because people following docs out there with ec2-user would be following docs for a different OS, and having it be the same as the Amazon Linux AMIs (which are CentOS based) might end up being more confusing than helpful.

How about 'Administrator' ? Seriously.

They are non-free, so I think that we should not have them by default.
Packaging them in the non-free section if the license allows would be a good
compromise. Then, scripts ą la cloud-init could be turned on to enable
auto-updates for the users who want to.
We also have the euca2ools, which do not implement all the API (no
'--instance-initiated-shutdown-behavior terminate' yet, for instance), but they
are Free and patches may be welcome. https://github.com/eucalyptus/euca2ools

That is one of the reasons why I like my approach with Debian Installer: 1)
install Debian on a EBS volume in the cloud and 2) bless that volume from
outside the cloud, so that no password or private key transits on the installer
or installed system.
Have a nice day,
