Until the glance issue is addressed, it's not possible to do anything in nova for this. Removing nova.

Oh, well. Glance does not seem to support any sort of sparse images. For example, Ubuntu's cloud images are a 1½ GB filesystem, but if it were sparsely allocated it would only take up a couple of hundred MB. Amazon handles this by using tarballs as their image transport format.
