At last, I'm not the only one seeing these!  I've been meaning to look
into them, but it got back-burnered during the dynamic bug listings work.

This sounds quite a lot like the scripts test farm uses to configure a
Launchpad instance.  Have you had a look at it?

You can also use cloud-init to perform the install.  Or juju, I imagine.

test-farm used clould-init to do post-init customization.  You can
just supply a script as --user-data-file to the euca-run-instances
command.

I wonder if we can reuse ec2-land more directly, though?
