Ok, so along the lines of this, I propose (and will send a patch soon
if there are no objections) the following behavior for lxc-clone:
1. hook files only get copied if they are in $lxpath/$lxc_name
2. hook files do not get 'updated'. They should be using the
container name and lxcpath from environment/arguments
3. configuration file will expand $p to lxcpath and $n to
lxcname (with \$ for escaping $ though I can't see anyone
doing that).
4. $lxcpath/$lxcname/fstab and lxc.mount.entries should not
need to be updated. The destination should be relative to
the mounted container root. I don't know of any cases where
the source is relative to the container itself. If there are
such cases, then we can add $p and $n expansion to ONLY the
mount source.
5. lxc_clone will update the container name in lxc.utsname only.
