I really don't care either way, but (a) lxc-docker is more descriptive of what docker actually is than docker-io; and (b) the Docker website/installation documentation for ArchLinux already points to lxc-docker and lxc-docker-git... It's not worth changing names unless it's for plain old "docker". :-)
Either way, version 0.7.0 was just released and I've updated lxc-docker to it. As of this version, lxc-docker no longer needs a custom aufs-friendly kernel and should have no AUR dependencies. If you so desire, it can now be fast-tracked into [community] or [extra] if possible, and while you're add it put vagrant in there as well. :-) PKGBUILDs, etc. are maintained in my git repo: https://github.com/ido/packages-archlinux in the "aur" directory. If there are any changes that need to be made to it, let me know or send a pull request. In AUR, lxc-docker-git now points to the master branch installation from source/git, and lxc-docker points to the binary (recommended) installation mechanism from the website. lxc-docker-git needs further work to comply with the recommended docker build instructions (which are to build docker inside of docker), but it builds a working binary at the moment.
