[Bug 1447160] [NEW] lxc-create template does not include /etc/hosts hostname resolution

[Antoni Segura Puimedon]

Public bug reported:

1) Ubuntu 14.04 creating an Ubuntu 12.04 lxc container.
2) Version: 1.0.7-0ubuntu0.1
3) /etc/hosts should have been:
    127.0.0.1 localhost

    # The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
    ::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
    fe00::0 ip6-localnet
    ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
    ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
    ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
    ff02::3 ip6-allhosts
    127.0.1.1 <hostname>

4)  /etc/hosts was:
   127.0.0.1 localhost

    # The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
    ::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
    fe00::0 ip6-localnet
    ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
    ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
    ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
    ff02::3 ip6-allhosts
    127.0.1.1 <hostname>

According to http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-
reference/ch05.en.html#_the_hostname_resolution the loopback address to
use in this case is 127.0.1.1 and it is what for example maas
provisioning does. This would help software that expects the hostname be
resolvable work inside lxc containers.

** Affects: lxc (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: Confirmed
