Bug Description

ubuntucloud is a new upstream source in development that will provide command line utilities that
 * keep a local libvirt storage pool in sync with images available from cloud-images.ubuntu.com
 * keep a local lxc container source-pool in sync with images on cloud-images.ubuntu.com
 * provide 'uc-libvirt-kvm' and 'uc-libvirt-lxc' commands for launching an instance based on those up to date "images"
 * are used by Juju to create containers of lxc or kvm type.

There should be no real potential for regression as these will all be new packages. The availability of these packages will essentially make users able to launch kvm or lxc containers much like they do with schroot, but with the cloud images instead.

These packages are in development right now and should be available by mid september.

[Proposed Changes]
 * inclusion of a new source package that provides 4 binary packages:
   * uc-simplestreams-libvirt
   * uc-libvirt-kvm
   * uc-simplestreams-lxc
   * uc-lxc
 * some changes to python-simplestreams to accomodate more clean code and less
   duplication.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. It seems that your bug report is not filed about a specific source package though, rather it is just filed against Ubuntu in general. It is important that bug reports be filed about source packages so that people interested in the package can find the bugs about it. You can find some hints about determining what package your bug might be about at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage. You might also ask for help in the #ubuntu-bugs irc channel on Freenode.

To change the source package that this bug is filed about visit https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1218508/+editstatus and add the package name in the text box next to the word Package.

Note that we are in final freeze now and most archive admins are busy with the release, so if you still intend to land this, please make sure you also have the name of a willing archive admin to do the New review.
