So even though I think creating role-specific templates is a flawed
approach new templates are not hard, just modify the existing lxc-ubuntu
script with whatever commands need to be run in your environment or
packages you need to install
For example this new template created containers that already had Salt
Stack installed
root@mfranz-x60s:/usr/lib/lxc/templates# diff lxc-ubuntu lxc-ubuntu-salt
1c1
< #!/bin/bash
---
> #!/bin/bash -vex

< chroot $rootfs apt-get install --force-yes -y
python-software-properties

> chroot $rootfs apt-get install -y salt-minion
Which would start with something like
# lxc-create -n salt8 -t ubuntu-salt
You really aren't creating tarballs (the way you do it with OpenVZ) but
modifying the shell script that creates the template and the package cache.
For what it is worth....
