Bug Description

=======================
SRU Justification:
1. Impact: cannot create debian testing containers
2. Development fix: specify isc-dhcp-client rather than dhcp3-client
3. Stable fix: same as development fix
4. Test case: see lxc-create command below.
5. Regression potential: should be none.
=======================
I have tried to create a debian container which uses the testing release with the following command:

SUITE=testing lxc-create -t debian -n debian-testing-amd64

 However it fails at some point with this messages:

E: Couldn't find these debs: dhcp3-client
Failed to download the rootfs, aborting.
Failed to download 'debian base'
failed to install debian
failed to execute template 'debian'
aborted

 If I use stable with SUITE=stable then it works fine.

 I am using lxc version 0.7.5-3ubuntu62 in Ubuntu 12.04

Thanks for submitting this bug. Indeed, dhcp3-server appears to have been replaced in testing, and it is being specifically added to the list of packages for debootstrap to install.

Hello Enrique, or anyone else affected,

Accepted lxc into precise-proposed. The package will build now and be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxc/0.7.5-3ubuntu64 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please change the bug tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not, change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!
