I am not sure what you mean (exactly) by that. I implemented it as
pulling in the main lxc.service and being ordered after that so that
all the instanced services go up after the setup there is complete and
go down before lxc.service is killed (just like the upstart job).

Here is the PR: https://github.com/lxc/lxc/pull/577
