Some updates.
 * The latest builds [3] (20110829) have a .qcow2 file which is a compressed 
qcow disk image.
 * I posted an email to 2 ubuntu-cloud [1] and ec2ubuntu [2] asking if anyone 
is using the .vmdk files.  I'm thinking of replacing them with compressed qcow 
images.

The compressed qcow images do work with:
 uec-publish-image amd64 oneiric-server-cloudimg-amd64-disk1.qcow2 $BUCKET -v 
--type image

However, they're still less than ideal.  It seems that nova is not
resizing the disk image up as it does with a partition image (bug
836759).
