oh sorry, I missed you were using a debian package. I guess Guido has to 
change the package debian script to specify this option.

If you want you can use the tarball
http://lxc.sourceforge.net/download/lxc/lxc-0.6.2.tar.gz

configure --prefix=/usr --localstatedir=/var --sysconfdir=/etc 
--with-kernel-release=2.6.29
if you are running on a 64bits host, you should specifiy 
--libdir=/usr/lib64 too.

make && sudo make install && sudo lxc-setcap

Thanks.
