Package: lxc
Version: 0.7.5-9
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Since I had no sufficient space on my devel laptop /var/lib when I first
installed lxc, many months ago, I then symlinked /var/lib/lxc to
/home/lxc but did not modified /etc/default/lxc since in 0.7.5-3, there
was no lxc/directory configuration variable.

As I upgraded to 0.7.5-9 some minutes ago, this link was deleted and
replaced by an (empty) directory. Since there was no running containers
this was not much of a problem and I immediately noticed the problem
as soon as I tried to start some container in order to test the new
version.

I have had a look to the (post)install scripts but I have to
admit I failed to find where the error happens (but I am no debian
packaging litterate either).

Just to be sure this did not come from some previous special tweaks I
made and I'd have forgotten, I purged lxc and reinstalled 0.7.5-3 with
dpkg, recreated the link then re-upgraded to 0.7.5-9 : the link was
wiped out again. I even did the trick a second time with the same
result.

As a sidenote, I think the new variables in /etc/default/lxc would
deserve some mention in a NEWS file.

Sorry I cannot give more help while I can make some more testing if
needed.
