Comment 2 for bug 820715

This doesn't happen with an oneiric container, nor with a trimmed lucid container.

The difference between the two is /etc/init/ssh.conf. In lucid it has
 'stop on runlevel S'

In oneiric it is 'stop on runlevel [!2345]', and trimming a container (with the '-x' option to lxc-create) does the same thing.

I'm going to momentarily assign this to Clint so he can verify for me that there is no way we would SRU a patch for ssh in lucid to change its 'stop on'.

Assuming he confirms that, we'll have to find a clever way for lxcguest to force ssh to stop anyway.
