I think we should also update the lxc-start manpage, which says
"If no command is specified, lxc-start will use the default
"/sbin/init" command to run a system container"

to something like

"If no command is specified, lxc-start will use the lxc.init_cmd
configuration option, or if that is not given fall back to /sbin/init
to run a system container"
