It's not buildbot, but it's fairly easy to run the tests on EC2 against a newer version of Ubuntu, you just run "./utilites/ec2 test -m based-on:$ami" where $ami is a blank ami of the desired distro series that lets you log in as root with the key pair you provide when you launch the instance... ... which is actually a slight problem, as both the official AMIs and the recent ones produced by Eric Hammond let you log in as 'ubuntu', a user with passwordless sudo with the keys you provide on instance launch. But it shouldn't be hard to fix the code to match this.
