Title:
  [MIR] ec2-instance-connect

Status in ec2-instance-connect package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  [Availability]
  ec2-instance-connect is in the Ubuntu archive, and available for all supported
  releases. It is available on all architectures despite only being useful on
  Amazon EC2 instances.

  [Rationale]
  This package is useful on Amazon EC2 instances to make use of a new feature:
  Instance Connect; which allows storing SSH keys for access online in the Amazon
  systems. These SSH keys are then retrieved to be used by the system's SSH
  service, collated with pre-existing keys as deployed on the system.

  Installing the package enables the use of Instance Connect on an
  instance.

  [Security]
  This is a new package, and as such has no security history to speak of.

  [Quality Assurance]
  The package consists in a few shell scripts that are difficult to test by
  themselves due to the high reliance on Amazon's Instance Connect service;
  which is online and limited to use on Amazon instances.

  Given that it's a new package, there are no long-term outstanding bugs in
  Ubuntu or Debian. The package is only maintained in Ubuntu at the moment.

  This package deals with special "hardware"; it is only useful on Amazon
  instances, and its support is required as a default deployment on such
  instances when deployed with Ubuntu.

  [UI Standards]
  Not applicable. This service is command-line only and has no configuration options.

  [Dependencies]
  There are no special dependencies to speak of.

  [Standards Compliance]
  This package has been thoroughly reviewed by a few Canonical engineers, there
  are no standards violations known.

  [Maintenance]
  This package is to be owned by the Ubuntu Foundations team.

  [Background Information]
  This is Amazon-specific, as previously mentioned.
