Have you tried Arch Linux Gordon? it uses a BSD-Style init which is what 
I think you mean. I think it's much cleaner and easier to work with. All 
"switches" are in rc.conf, there isn't loads of rc.runlevel directories 
full of symlinks and you can point your inittab at a lxc-specific 
rc.sysinit and rc.shutdown. This is what I have and it works well. My 
point was about the fact that using a stock rc.shutdown, for example, 
will shut down the host.
