Package: linux-base Version: 4.0 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
The kernel has renamed overlayfs to overlay: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=ef94b1864d1ed5be54376404bb23d22ed0481feb However, it expected distributions to keep the old name around, because userspace software might rely on it. And it definitely does. lxc, at version 1.0.7 in debian/unstable, relies on overlayfs for its lxc-clone facilities. At lxc 1.1.1, it has added support for the name "overlay". It means that right now, lxc-clone cannot be used on debian, since both packages don't support each other.
