Yes, I'm aware that 2.0.0 is not released yet since is still in development.
I also noticed the recent upload of 1.3, so I just considered that option,
why not upload development snapshots of euca2ools to experimental?

If you are OK with that I'll try to debianize the work done in Ubuntu in
order to upload it to Debian while this code and their dependencies
stabilize.

Maybe I can convince/help Eric to also upload python-boto 2.0 to experimental
as well.

As extra comment, it would be nice if Debian and Ubuntu could coordinate
to avoid effort duplication in this area.
