lxc-debian cannot create a testing release container

[Enrique]

=======================
SRU Justification:
1. Impact: cannot create debian testing containers
2. Development fix: specify isc-dhcp-client rather than dhcp3-client
3. Stable fix: same as development fix
4. Test case: see lxc-create command below.
5. Regression potential: should be none.
=======================
I have tried to create a debian container which uses the testing release with the following command:

SUITE=testing lxc-create -t debian -n debian-testing-amd64

 However it fails at some point with this messages:

E: Couldn't find these debs: dhcp3-client
Failed to download the rootfs, aborting.
Failed to download 'debian base'
failed to install debian
failed to execute template 'debian'
aborted

 If I use stable with SUITE=stable then it works fine.

 I am using lxc version 0.7.5-3ubuntu62 in Ubuntu 12.04

Thanks for submitting this bug. Indeed, dhcp3-server appears to have been replaced in testing, and it is being specifically added to the list of packages for debootstrap to install.
