[Francesco Banconi <frankban@xxxxxxxxx>]

Francesco Banconi has proposed merging lp:~frankban/lpsetup/fstab-tweak into lp:lpsetup.

Requested reviews:
  Launchpad Yellow Squad (yellow)

For more details, see:
https://code.launchpad.net/~frankban/lpsetup/fstab-tweak/+merge/102482

== Changes == 

We need to add a line to the container's fstab in order to work around 
bug 974584, still affecting lucid lxc.

The lxc-install sub command adds the line to fstab right after the container is created.
