<p>a bit OT related to this thread but from what Fajar has posted
here it almost sounds like you shouldn't/couldn't use debian
inside a container unless you are prepared to conduct far from
trivial post launch system tweaking (reinstalling systemd was
mentioned) <br>
</p>
<p>Is that a valid assumption?<br>
