Thanks for bringing this up, Elliot.  I've gone ahead and backported
the oneiric lxc package to lucid and pushed it to
https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-virt/+archive/ppa?field.series_filter=lucid

I created a full lucid debootstrap - actually I copied
/usr/lib/lxc/templates/lxc-natty to
/usr/lib/lxc/templates/lxc-lucidfull, removed 'lxcguest' from the list
of packages to be installed with debootstrap, and used '-t lucifull' to
create a container.

Then I chrooted into that container and installed the backported
lxcguest*.deb.  Exited, started the container, success.
