Bug Description
Binary package hint: lxc
Availability: Package is in universe and builds for all the architectures that are required.
Rationale: lxcguest is needed for the UEC images to use LXC in openstack.
Security: Security history is pretty good. No open CVE.
QA:
* Package is reasonably easy to configure.
* No debconf questions asked.
* Debian bugs refer to the creation of debian containers using lxc-create.
* The only concerning Ubuntu bug is #645625
* Packaged is well maintained in both Ubuntu and Debian
* No exotic hardware is needed.
* No testsuite
Dependencies:
* cdbs debhelper, autotools-dev, libcap-dev, linux-libc-dev, docbook-uilts:
All in main except libcap2-bin is in universe but the source is already in main.
Standards Compliance:
* FHS and Debian policy compliant.
Maintenance: Ubuntu server team will be taking care of this package

+1 for lxcguest binary in main. I would prefer to keep the lxc binary in universe at least for natty.

promoted lxcguest binary and lxc source to main.
Are the concerns of last time this was raised now addressed? Bug #509647
