    EC2: Don't enable firstboot_pkgs in small flavour
    
    The EC2 "base" flavour installs the devel/py-awscli package at boot
    time by default; we don't do this in the "small" flavour, so the
    default behaviour was to update the FreeBSD-ports repository and
    then do nothing with it.
    
    Turn off firstboot_pkgs by default; if someone is using the "small"
    flavour of AMIs and wants to install packages at instance launch
    time, they simply need to add 'firstboot_pkgs_enable="YES"' to
    /etc/rc.conf (which they must already be editing via user-data, in
    order to provide the list of packages they want installed).

    Relnotes:       EC2 "small" images now have firstboot_pkgs_enable="NO".
