Jonathan, By all means, please take over the ITP. We've been waiting for too long, and it would be a big plus if we could have LXD for Stretch. If it was there, I could working out a python-nova-lxd and nova-compute-lxd package, which would be nice to see in Debian Stertch as well.
We've been waiting for too long. At this point, I'd say that the first who uploads to the NEW queue wins. Cheers, Thomas Goirand (zigo)
