** Description changed:

  I used LXC on this machine. Therefore I had to add a cgroup mount and added 
the recommended line
  none /cgroup cgroup defaults 0 0
  to /etc/fstab. This results in an unbootable system after upgrade to Oneiric. 
Apparently the boot just stops when it comes to mounting the entries in 
/etc/fstab.
  
  I would expect that either
  a) the system doesn't hang when this is added to /etc/fstab
  b) on upgrade the package detects this condition and removes/comments the 
according line in /etc/fstab so that the system is still bootable.
+ 
+ SRU Justification:
+ 1: Impact: failure to boot!
+ 2: Development fix: don't start cgroup-lite if cgroups are mounted by fstab
+ 3: Stable fix: same as development fix
+ 4: Test case:
+    a. add cgroup entry to /etc/ftab, i.e.
+       mkdir /cgroup
+       echo "cgroup /cgroup cgroup defaults 0 0" > /etc/fstab
+    b. install cgroup-lite
+    c. reboot
+ 5: Regression potential: if the patch were wrong, we might end up with 
cgroup-lite
+    not mounting cgroups when it should.
