Is this backwards compatible for the version of LXC that is default
installed in Precise?

Can it be made to be that way?

It isn't because there's extra arguments that weren't there before. It
could be made compatible by sniffing out valid arguments from lxc-create
--help and lxc-clone --help, but I feel that could be too fragile. My
understanding is that lxc would be backported into the cloud archive all
the way to precise, but maybe that's not the case?
