Ubuntu has upstart instead of the classic init and upstart ignores INT and
PWR signals.

I could do a: ssh container "shutdown -h now"
But this needs a working networking and a sshd inside the container.

Is there a way to tell upstart to execute a shutdown or at least invoke
/etc/init/control-alt-delete.conf ?
