Install Docker latest on Ubuntu 14.04 with AUFS as the storage driver

A solution I manage has 19 Ubuntu 14.04 VMs running Docker 1.11. Yesterday I discovered that all but 2 of these VMs were using AUFS -- the other 2 were using devicemapper. I have no idea how that happened.

Borrowing heavily from the other answers here, this worked for me to switch these 2 VMs from devicemapper to AUFS without uninstalling Docker:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install linux-image-extra-$(uname -r)
sudo service docker stop
sudo rm -rf /var/lib/docker
sudo reboot

What is this lxc-docker package and how does it differ from the docker-engine package?
