Hello Marc, or anyone else affected,

Accepted ltsp into precise-proposed. The package will build now and be
available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to
enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

Bug description:
  [impact]
  when generating the image, if we do it inside an openvz container, the ionice command make the the process fail.

  [test case]
  in a openvz container run:
  root at ltsp-root03:~# ltsp-update-image -n -a i386
  Regenerating kernel...
  Skipping yaboot configuration. install yaboot package if you need it.
  Skipping netabootwrap images. Install the aboot package if you need them.
  Skipping sparc piggyback images. Install the sparc-utils package if you need them.
  Done.
  Updating /var/lib/tftpboot directories for chroot: /opt/ltsp/i386
  ionice: ioprio_set failed: Operation not permitted
  Error: mksquashfs failed to build the ltsp image, exiting

  [regression potential]
  really low, the change consist of testing if ionice works on a command to set it.
  if it fails, ionice is unset.

  [development fix]
  I know this section is deprecated but it's actually relevant in this case ;)
  The fix hasn't hit quantal yet because of some massive packaging rework going on with LTSP to try and bring us in sync with Debian. I can guarantee that we will have a new upstream release in quantal that will include this fix. ETA is of a couple of weeks.

  we should pull this commit to fix the issue in precise and quantal
