Title:
  lxc-clone causes duplicate MAC address and IP address

Status in “lxc” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  A cloned container will have the same MAC address and IP address with
  the original container.

  How to reproduce:
   1. $ sudo lxc-create -t ubuntu-cloud -n foo -- --release trusty
   2. $ sudo lxc-clone foo bar
   3. $ sudo lxc-start -d -n foo
   4. $ sudo lxc-start -d -n bar

  Expected result:
   2 container will have different MAC and IP address each other.

  Actual result:
   2 container will have duplicate MAC and IP address.

  # grep lxc.network.hwaddr /var/lib/lxc/{foo,bar}/config
  /var/lib/lxc/foo/config:lxc.network.hwaddr = 00:16:3e:d8:d8:78
  /var/lib/lxc/bar/config:lxc.network.hwaddr = 00:16:3e:d8:d8:78

  $ sudo lxc-ls -f
