Justification: LXC is the *ONLY* lightweight virtualization system
available in Lucid; without it, the next lightest is KVM.

My containers need their own network stacks. After upgrading from
2.6.32-31 to -32, my containers completely failed to start. I believe
this is because you removed CONFIG_NET_NS for #720095. This *may*
even break containers that share host node's network stack, I haven't
checked.

The lxc package includes an "lxc-checkconfig" script you can use to
check the compile-time options of the running kernel.
