Ah!  If you look at that lxc-check script I had attached, it tries to
find the rootfs by looking up the config and then, if necessary,
dereferencing through any mount points for that rootfs that may be in
the VM fstab (part of my OpenVZ ve -> lxc conversion and compatiblity)
so I guess I've got that covered since I go for the ${ROOTFS}.  Try and
keep things as generic as possible.

Thanks for that clarification!
