Packaging them in the non-free section if the license allows would be a good compromise. Then, scripts à la cloud-init could be turned on to enable auto-updates for the users who want to. We also have the euca2ools, which do not implement all the API (no '--instance-initiated-shutdown-behavior terminate' yet, for instance), but they are Free and patches may be welcome. https://github.com/eucalyptus/euca2ools > 9) It was not a Debian security issue - but an image generation that left a > X509 key visible in the block device. That is one of the reasons why I like my approach with Debian Installer: 1) install Debian on a EBS volume in the cloud and 2) bless that volume from outside the cloud, so that no password or private key transits on the installer or installed system.
