[lxc-devel] [PATCH] lxc-debian: support systemd as PID 1

[Antonio Terceiro]

Containers with systemd need a somewhat special setup, which I borrowed
and adaptec from lxc-fedora. These changes are required so that Debian 8
(jessie) containers work properly, and are a no-op for previous Debian
versions.
