I thought we had sorted this out live during the sprint.  As we talked
at that time, we want to use LXC in the context of service units, and
will get the local dev story almost nailed down with that because we
can deploy multiple units within the same machine with this already.
Then we'll need to sort out the ability to use machine-0 for
deployments, and finally a provider that recognizes that the local
machine is a bit special in some regards.  We'll need to do these in a
very piecemeal style, with very small well tested branches one at a
time.
