Yes, that was the first choice but in some distros like ubuntu, this 
directory is a tmpfs. After the install of lxc, the directory will be 
destroyed at the reboot.

I thought "/var/tmp/lxc" may be a good alternative because it is defined 
as "Temporary files to be preserved between reboots." in FHS.
