Well, yes, but we can definitely do this better.
a.) I could have realized this was going to happen and modified the images
bound for us-west-1 before uploading.
b.) the logic could be:
  if host_exists(region + "ec2.archive.ubuntu.com")
     use region + "ec2.archive.ubuntu.com"
  else
     use archive.ubuntu.com

I'll ping IS again to see if we can't open it up at least until images are
refreshed.
