Dear Miguel,

euca2ools version 2.0.0 is not yet released (notice the ~bzr464 part in the
version number, that makes it inferior to 2.0.0), so I am worried to not be
able to keep up with the changes and the bug fixes.  But with your help,
why not uploading packages in the experimental section of the Debian archive ?

This said, I just noticed that euca2ools 2.0.0 needs python-boto 2.0, which is
not yet in Debian.  I asked its maintainer what he would think about update in
http://bugs.debian.org/638931 (I do not know if it brings incompatibilities
with other packages using it).  Now we have a good reason to wait before
updating euca2ools ;)

Have a nice day,
