It could be that Ubuntu's domU support is somehow broken and we might
be able to fix this.
But it _coud_ also be that some things in the nfsroot creation of the
fai package patched for ubuntu does something wrong. (e.g. on Debian
dom0 and Debian domU I use it a lot and never saw this error occur)

I didn't try Ubuntu as a FAI (or Xen) server for a long time, but at a
first glance, I find the usage of libc6 strange - it should be
libc6-xen. We might be able to work around that!

Do we try to install the ubuntu-base package, which pulls in libc6?
Is that a known good practice to do on xen domU's?
