Bug Description

the uec-images build output currently contains a kernel and ramdisk for easy use bundling by the end user.

We need to make sure that the source that created these images can be obtained (per gpl requirement).

This may require some changes to the ec2-automated-builds tools or simply documentation.

The uec build output has 2 kernels and 2 initrd per arch (1 set for uec, 1 set for ec2). There is information available for each that indicates the pedigree.
a.) the manifest file for the build : the kernels come from a package inside of the image, and all packages and versions are listed here
b.) the kernel-info.txt file : this file has explicit information on where each kernel/initrd file came from.

For b, an example:
karmic-uec-i386-vmlinuz-virtual vmlinuz-2.6.31-14-generic-pae i386 linux-image-2.6.31-14-virtual 2.6.31-14.46
karmic-uec-i386-initrd-virtual initrd.img-2.6.31-14-generic-pae i386 linux-image-2.6.31-14-virtual 2.6.31-14.46
karmic-uec-i386-vmlinuz-ec2 vmlinuz-2.6.31-302-ec2 i386 linux-image-2.6.31-302-ec2 2.6.31-302.7
karmic-uec-i386-initrd-ec2 initrd.img-2.6.31-302-ec2 i386 linux-image-2.6.31-302-ec2 2.6.31-302.7

The above tab-delimited content represents:
 - file name in the build output
 - original file name in the image
 - arch
 - package from which the file came (for initrd, this is the kernel package)
 - package version

That should provide us with plenty of information to get the source for a given image.
