Title:
  mounted-dev must not re-create consoles in a container

Status in “lxc” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in “mountall” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  mounted-dev.conf always does MAKEDEV console.  MAKEDEV doesn't just
  make the devices, it first removes them.

  When a container starts, it sets up /dev/console and /dev/lxc[1-4] as
  bind mounts of ptys on the host, for use as lxc consoles.  If mounted-
  dev deletes and recreates those, then none of the lxc consoles work.

  A simple patch which stops it from breaking lxc consoles is at lp
  :~serge-hallyn/ubuntu/quantal/mountall/mountall-lxc .  However looking
  back at it, I think it would be ok to do a further check for whether
  /dev/console exists.  If it does not exist, then MAKEDEV console
  anyway.  This isn't necessary, just a thought.
