Building EC2 images locally fails



Hello.
I've tried to build new EC2 image using
ec2-ebs-debian-official-amd64-pvm.manifest.json.
I've put my AWS credentials into manifest and run build-debian-cloud
from WIP-python branch.

It failed with:

Adding backports to the apt sources
Retrieving instance metadata
<urlopen error [Errno 113] No route to host>
Traceback (most recent call last):

    task.run(info)

    raise URLError(err)

Rolling back

There is strange URL in providers/ec2/tasks/host.py:
metadata_url =
'http://169.254.169.254/latest/dynamic/instance-identity/document'

169.254.* is (Windows ?) IP used when there is no DHCP-given IP.
From analysis of the code it looks like GetInfo is used by Connect
to get information about instance and its region (to connect to AWS
to register AMI) - but I'm not sure which instance.
The one build-debian-cloud runs on, or the one which is being created?

What should I do with this URL?

Best regards.
