I did the change, 
It was basically required to be able to list the containers
that are started with a configuration file not created via lxc-create.

I agree that the consequence is that created containers
that are running are listed two times.

Today lxc-ls is listing created and active containers
(so with some of them duplicated).
We may change the default and give only the active ones
and add two new options: --created and --active to give the choice to
user.
