I don't believe the patch has been applied yet, it got sent to the list
and acked by Serge, but hasn't been commited to master yet.

The reasoning for this is that all LXC binaries and scripts should
respect the paths passed to LXC's configure script.

I noticed this one when attempting to build and install LXC on a system
that's entirely read-only except for an application path and application
data path.


However, re-reading the patch again, it's actually wrong. We don't want
lease files in $varrun as that's typically temporary storage which goes
away on reboots.

I'll send an updated version of the patch which makes this specifically
configurable.
