Bug Description

While testing juju, I noticed that its lxc implementation depends on libvirt-bin just to have virbr0 initialized.
That seems to be a big dependency for something as trivial as creating a bridge and starting dnsmasq, even more so when lxc itself does that by default.

I think juju should drop all the current libvirt code and simply use lxcbr0 by default (as it's shipped by default in the lxc package since 12.04), probably allowing the user to select another bridge if they wish.

Which as has been mentioned before would be particularly nice for juju inside nested containers.

This is addressed by the local-cloud-img branch which will be included in the 0.6 release (which hopefully will wrap up shortly and land in quantal)
