Public bug reported:

[Availability]
ec2-instance-connect is in the Ubuntu archive, and available for all supported
releases. It is available on all architectures despite only being useful on
Amazon EC2 instances.

[Rationale]
This package is useful on Amazon EC2 instances to make use of a new feature:
Instance Connect; which allows storing SSH keys for access online in the Amazon
systems. These SSH keys are then retrieved to be used by the system's SSH
service, collated with pre-existing keys as deployed on the system.

Installing the package enables the use of Instance Connect on an
instance.

[Security]
This is a new package, and as such has no security history to speak of.

[Quality Assurance]
The package consists in a few shell scripts that are difficult to test by
themselves due to the high reliance on Amazon's Instance Connect service;
which is online and limited to use on Amazon instances.

Given that it's a new package, there are no long-term outstanding bugs in
Ubuntu or Debian. The package is only maintained in Ubuntu at the moment.

This package deals with special "hardware"; it is only useful on Amazon
instances, and its support is required as a default deployment on such
instances when deployed with Ubuntu.

[UI Standards]
Not applicable. This service is command-line only and has no configuration 
options.

[Dependencies]
There are no special dependencies to speak of.

[Standards Compliance]
This package has been thoroughly reviewed by a few Canonical engineers, there
are no standards violations known.

[Maintenance]
This package is to be owned by the Ubuntu Foundations team.

[Background Information]
This is Amazon-specific, as previously mentioned.
