Bug Description

ec2test --headless takes about 20-30 minutes to detach. This sucks, since it often prevents me from using it as I'm about to leave a place.

This comes down to two things:
  * doing too much before running tests
  * doing too much before going headless

These are somewhat orthogonal.

One thing that will help here is making it easier to keep the ec2test image updated wrt sourcecode and the launchpad branch etc. This is well in progress now.

The other two main things I see are:

1) Not checking out the download-cache from scratch each time.
2) Running 'make build' after detaching.

I'll see about doing these things soon.

I see this step fail regularly too - DNS issues I think, possibly
related to the EC2 environment still setting up? It would be great if
you stuck this step in a loop while you are there.

I've landed both these changes now and ec2test --headless detaches in about 5-6 minutes for me now. This could probably be improved some but I no longer know where the time is going, so I'm going to declare that this bug is fixed.

I didn't add a loop, sorry.
