Wow...  I'm running multiple F19 and F20 containers on an F19 host and
an F20 host, some of whom have been in production for a month (F19) or a
month (F20).  I don't have any Debian hosts.

Looking at your logs, everything looks smooth in setup, including
setting up a devtmpfs bind mount under /dev/.lxc/ so the initial stuff
all looks good.  It seems to be going back around the time it's trying
to run /sbin/init in the container but that's immediately following a
failure to open some directory (looks like THAT warning message could
use some love and care to add WHAT directory is not being opened).

I'm not sure what's gone wrong here but it almost looks like the
template didn't build the container correctly.  My next action would be
to chroot into the container and poke around the file system to see if
things like /sbin/init exist and point to systemd like they should.
