** Description changed: LXD is the direction that the LXC project is moving towards, and it has several nice features that are helpful for autopkgtest: fast container creation with intelligent caching, support for local images (with autopkgtest modifications), and seamless support for remote containers. We need the latter for moving armhf testing into Scalingstack, as we don't have native armhf support there. We can create a big semi- permanent arm64 instance and then create armhf lxd containers in that, and talk to them from the autopkgtest controller node in ProdStack using the arm64 instance as a remote. This cannot be done with either the ssh runner (that would need some rather complicated setup script) nor the lxc runner (I tried wrapping ssh around it, but the extra level of shell processing/quoting breaks stuff). + + Current blocker bugs: bug 1522753, bug 1522755
