I just tried using euca2ools for the first time to bundle a running Karmic instance. Apart from the bugs that make it not work at all (bug 450044, bug 479823, bug 479836) I also found a number of other incompatibilities which make it look like more changes are needed than just ec2-* symlinks.

The ideal solution would include the ability to easily set up either of the following environments and be able to switch between them: 1) euca2ools without ec2-* symlinks. Optionally, Amazon's ec2-*-tools packages could be installed alongside and commands from either set of tools could be run

I suggest this ability to support the ec2-* names should be a requirement before the ec2-ami-tools on the Canonical EC2 images are replaced with euca2ools (assuming euca2ools is sufficiently compatible and stable for it to become the default). It's not just Canonical's documentation which would
