Apropos my previous report:

* src/lxc_driver.c: adds the getHostname method to the lxc driver

I guess that is a known issue, and the console method will not work
until 0.6.3 is packaged; that includes that previous change.

I can, I suppose, try and build an 0.6.3 package myself and test it, or
I am more than happy to pre-test an updated package if you have one.
