w00t w00t!!

finally got it working, thanks to all that helped. 

the working config is:

   "builders": [{
     "type": "amazon-ebs",
     "communicator": "ssh",
     "ssh_pty": "true",
     "access_key": "{{user `aws_access_key`}}",
     "secret_key": "{{user `aws_secret_key`}}",
     "region": "eu-west-1",
     "source_ami": "ami-88e60ff1",
     "instance_type": "t2.nano",
     "ssh_username": "admin",
     "ami_name": "jenkins-slave-stretch{{timestamp}}",
     "encrypt_boot": true,
     "ami_block_device_mappings": [ {
         "device_name": "xvda",
         "volume_size": 42,
         "volume_type": "gp2",
         "delete_on_termination": true
     } ]
   }],

The important bit is that while the source image uses /dev/xvda as the boot 
image the device name specified is "xvda". I don't know why this 
distinction is needed, but it works.
