You got me thinking :-)
It *should* actually be possible to bootstrap EBS backed instances locally:
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/importing-your-volumes-into-amazon-ebs.html
You can upload EBS snapshots. AWS supports VMDK, VHD and RAW formats!
I didn't know that until just now, hence my previous insistence on runniong
bootstrap-vz in a ec2 environment.
This is definitely something we could support in bootstrap-vz.

p.s.: Explicitly CC'ed Tiago and James to get their attention and input on
this, though maybe it should be in another thread
