Thanks for this hack!  However, yes, it does seem a tad too messy :)
(and, more importantly, not reliable, e.g. what if the GitHub project
disappears?)

I confess I'm a bit confused though.

Is it you on your machine that needs the testing version? (meaning that
one would need to use testing to *build* stable images)

Or is it rather that we need newer euca2ools version to ship *inside*
the images?

In the former case, it wouldn't be a big deal. It just means we need a
testing Debian machine to bootstrap stable AMIs. I think we can live
with that.

Can you clarify which is which?
TIA,
