Cleanup the script, simplify it and pass the arguments to this

The lxc-debian is epurated and consolidated with a better
error handling.
This script is no longer interactive but it installs in a specified
place the debian rootfs.
This script is not supposed to be called directly so it will fall in
libexec path very soon. This script is called by lxc-create
as a template with the right option and the right place.
The debian network configuration is by dhcp.

Allow the user to specify an extra fstab file to be added in the
debian configuration. So some optimisations can be done for sharing
objects.
eg: /var/cache/apt/archives mounted in <rootfs>/var/cache/apt/archives

Howdy,
I was playing around with LXC containers this past weekend, and
noticed a couple of issues with the lxc-fedora script:
#1: Line 96 should be ${ROOTFS}/etc/sysconfig/network instead of
${ROOTFS}/sysconfig/network
#2 Line 249 contains a reference to $PKG, which isn't used in the
program. I adjusted the variable to point to the correct package, and
use this in the calls to yumdownloader:
PKG="${DISTRO}-release.noarch.rpm"
.....
yumdownloader --destdir="${CACHE}/partial" "${PKG}"
#3 The $CACHE/partial path is escaped unnecessarily:
RPM="rpm --root \"${CACHE}/partial\""
#4 The program assumes yumdownloader will work, which isn't always the
case. I added an if statement to check the return code:
echo "Downloading distribution release file ${PKG}"
yumdownloader --destdir="${CACHE}/partial" "${PKG}"
RESULT=$?
if [ "${RESULT}" != "0" ]; then
echo "Enable to download the distribution release file"
exit 1
fi
#5 The package name passed to yumdownloader is incorrect:
yumdownloader --destdir="${CACHE}/partial" "${DISTRO}-release.noarch.rpm"
On Fedora 10 and 11, this evaluates to:
fedora-release.noarch.rpm
When we need it to evaluate to:
fedora-{RELEASE_VER}.release.noarch
This is fixed in the PKG variable listed above.
A patch that addresses these issues is attached.
Thanks,
- Ryan

'uname -m' seems to be more general to get the machine's architecture
type. Ubunbu 8.10 (and also all debian based distros?) does not have
arch(1).

Looks familiar! ;) I was intrigued by this idea last weekend so I
started such a script. However I only tested it as far as creating a
semi-correct rootfs. With the exception of network configs most of the
configs are still written as for debian. For example I know the selinux
policy enforcement settings need to move, the inittab needs to be
replaced by the proper upstart configs, etc.
Of course it's based heavily on Daniel's excellent lxc-debian script.

If lxc-debian fails or is interrupted during debootstrap then the next
invocation of lxc-debian breaks because it only checks for the existence
of the directory. This forces the user to remove the cache by hand to
retry the create step.
Let's allow the user to re-run lxc-debian to resume/retry. Store the
cache in a partial-$ARCH directory until debootstrap succeeds. Then move
the valid cache to its final destination.

The lxc-debian script does not consistently address the lxc lock as
@LOCALSTATEDIR@/lock/subsys/lxc. Make consistent use of the autotools
substitution to completely enable configure --prefixes.
I also added a comment explaining why some of the paths didn't need
autoconf substitutions for anyone who wants to understand the script.
Also, to separate it from the container contents proper, I moved the
CACHE variable initialization above the container-internal path
variables.
