why would one want this instead of using lxc from your distributions
repository?

that particular 'problem' we're going to solve in debian within about a
week when lxc provides linux-container (a generic version of something
similar what lxcguest in ubuntu and for ubuntu-only does) and live-build
therefore can build proper system images for lxc containers that are
shipped through .debs and which are going to be prefered over caches in
/var/cache/lxc in debians lxc package. don't know what ubuntu has in
mind for such use cases.
