Package: cgroup-bin
Version: 0.37.1-1
Severity: grave
Tags: patch
Justification: renders package unusable

Hi. About a year ago, I reported

- http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=588494

and mentioned that LXC fails to work due to cgroup-bin's
default policy being too strict (CREATE_DEFAULT=yes causes
LXC to fail).

Since this was just a configuration issue and user can
workaround it by reconfiguration, I didn't insist on fixing.
But somebody else recently made a similar report to lxc package,
and lxc package now marks cgroup-bin as a conflicting package:

- http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=647769

Since both packages have no files in common that actually conflicts,
I believe resolution would be to:

  1. Update cgroup-bin package, so it uses less-strict configuration
     by default (i.e. CREATE_DEFAULT=no in /etc/default/cgconfig).

  2. Update lxc package, so it drops Conflict: cgroup-bin entry
     which has too much impact on usage.

I will be filing similar report to LXC package, so both maintainers
can work together to fix the issue.
