Well, the LOSAs set it up at my instruction.

If the extra dependencies become part of
launchpad-developer-dependencies in the ~launchpad PPA, then updating
the EC2 image is really really easy.  And I think it would probably make
updating the buildbot images easier too...

Monday sounds ambitious but doable.  If you can get
launchpad-developer-dependencies updated, I can do the EC2 test images
on my Monday -- drop me a mail.
