Title:
  lxc-create template does not include /etc/hosts hostname resolution

Status in lxc package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  1) Ubuntu 14.04 creating an Ubuntu 12.04 lxc container.
  2) Version: 1.0.7-0ubuntu0.1
  3) /etc/hosts should have been:
      127.0.0.1 localhost

      # The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
      ::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
      fe00::0 ip6-localnet
      ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
      ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
      ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
      ff02::3 ip6-allhosts
      127.0.1.1 <hostname>

  4)  /etc/hosts was:
     127.0.0.1 localhost

      # The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
      ::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
      fe00::0 ip6-localnet
      ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
      ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
      ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
      ff02::3 ip6-allhosts
      127.0.1.1 <hostname>

  According to http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-
  reference/ch05.en.html#_the_hostname_resolution the loopback address
  to use in this case is 127.0.1.1 and it is what for example maas
  provisioning does. This would help software that expects the hostname
  be resolvable work inside lxc containers.
