Public bug reported:

Because of the problems we've encountered with overlayfs over the past
couple of months, and because aufs did seem to be working earlier, I'd
like it if we could have an option to use aufs with lxc-start-ephemeral.

Because overlayfs is the well-advertised future and aufs is the
deprecated past, and because we currently have workarounds for the known
overlayfs issues, I'd like overayfs to continue to be the default.

If this doesn't make into Precise, it is not essential: we can always
make our own version of the script later if necessary.  However, this
would be nice to have.

Thank you
